[By desisting from specifying the "documents" necessary and sufficient to prove one's citizenship, the regime very much appears to have deliberately left the business of determination of citizenship to the (entirely arbitrary) "discretion" of the concerned government officials.
This makes it possible - in fact almost inevitable, use of widely varying yardsticks for different individuals.
That strikes at the very roots of the "principle of natural justice", which forms the basis of any "rule of law".
This deserves to be, *also*, legally challenged, regardless of the recent track record of the Supreme Court.
That's, perhaps, one of the reasons why a declaration as regards the NRC is still awaited.
Would come only after the NPR operations are over?]
