He had gone with his mother from India to Pakistan as a child of around 7 years and has no proof of it and came back 1990 with a visa from Pakistan as adult and wedded in India and has three children. Since he didn't renew it, Mohd. Qamar, father of the Petitioners was arrested on 08.08.2011 on a complaint at Khair Nagar, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh.
