A foreign national is entitled to invoke Article 226 of the Constitution of India for redressal of breach of the rights available to him. The same would, therefore, be available to an overseas citizen of India as defined in Section 2(ee) of the Act of 1955 for redressal of infringement of the rights available to him. An overseas citizen therefore would have a right to approach the Court under Article 226 of the Constitution if any of the rights noted above are infringed.
45. The third issue is answered by holding that an overseas citizen can approach a Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for redressal of infringement of rights recognized to be available to him.
