TRS MLA Chennamaneni’s citizenship row: Hyderabad High Court grants 6-week stay

Hyderabad High Court has granted a six-week stay on citizenship cancellation of TRS MLA Chennamaneni Ramesh.

Following the Central government's decision cancelling his citizenship, the TRS MLA sought a stay.

It may be recalled that his Indian citizenship was cancelled last week after a report was submitted by the SK Tandon Judicial Committee indicating that the TRS MLA from Vemulawada constituency, had obtained Indian citizenship by submitting fake documents further claiming that Chennamaneni continues to be a German citizen.

He filed a review petition in the High Court challenging the order of the Ministry of Home Affairs and faulting that the Indian Citizenship can be cancelled only in cases of anti-national activity.
