You can apply for Indian citizenship by registration under Section 5 of the Citizenship Act, 1955. You’ll need to fulfill conditions like residing in India for 12 years, good character, and knowledge of Hindi or English. It’s best to consult a lawyer for specific requirements and procedures.

Previous Article A father bought a property and later wanted to transfer it to his son. His daughter agreed to this transfer in a family settlement, but the municipality refused to change the title. The father then filed a lawsuit. The daughter gave her consent in front of a civil judge, but her signature was taken on blank papers, suggesting a transfer between siblings. The lawsuit was later dismissed. The daughter also gave an affidavit stating she had no objection to the property transfer. Is this consent now affecting her rights? Should she file a case for partition?
