The Calcutta High Court has ruled that widely used identity documents such as Voter ID, Aadhaar, and PAN cards cannot be treated as proof of Indian citizenship. The court clarified that these documents serve as proof of identity and address, but do not establish a person's citizenship status.

The judgment underscores that citizenship must be established through separate legal documentation under the Citizenship Act.
