According to The Hindu, Nuzhat was lodged in a beggar’s home since May because of visa violation.
In 1996, Nuzhat had applied for Indian citizenship however no decision was given.
Gulfam said the court’s decision to allow his wife to stay and seek citizenship is the best gift this Eid.
“The Court has restored my faith in my country, its judicial system and in humanity. My wife has been allowed to stay in India. Having her back at home is the best gift ever,’’ Gulfam said.

I agree with some that it is a right, legal and humane decision according to the law of the land. The court decisions should not be populist or political. Unfortunately we are so used to political decisions by our high judiciary. One example is negotiation for Mush's departure from Pakistan without any court decision. Similarly NS's overthrow and sending him to S. Arabia and never deciding cases against Zardari despite keeping him in jail for better part of two decades off and on and the list continues.
@Water Bottle, ".. in any honorable, impartial court, judges take the ‘right decision’. They never take a ‘good step’. Good step is taken by policy-makers." I agree with your opinion. Stand your ground.
@gp65: Why Malala is not in pakistan :-)
Not surprising.
@Bling I would rather have our forces keep a watch on planets as well while protecting our borders rather than missing out entire helicopters with troops that come in and kill a fugitive right next to a military cantonment lol!
@Saad: Seeing reply to your comment by this indian watterbottle dude, should teach you a lesson. Never be nice to indians. They just don't deserve it.
@Water Bottle: Go and figure out the difference between a planet and a chinese drone first. You can figure out difference between good and right later on.
@Saad:
"Good step by the Indian High Court, she should have a visa till her nationality is sorted out."
Why would you say 'good step', instead of 'right decision'? Is it just a lack of good English or is it deliberate?
I ask this because, in any honorable, impartial court, judges take the 'right decision'. They never take a 'good step'. Good step is taken by policy-makers.
I wonder if this thought has crept into your brain because Pakistani judges are accused of being extremely corrupt by your own media!
@Azeem: to differentiate between india and pakistan.
Good news...!!!
And that makes a headline for what reason?
Congratulation to the family.and best wishes on eid.
Good step by the Indian High Court, she should have a visa till her nationality is sorted out.
Finally a good news coming from India for Pakistan or a Pakistani. Otherwise all we hear from that side are threats and false accusations.
