The Delhi High Court dismissed Charnjit Singh Bains’s challenge to refusal of entry into India, accepting the authorities’ reliance on information identifying him as a registered child sex offender abroad.
Judge / Bench — Justice Amit Mahajan.
The 3 November 2026 order in WP(C)2683/2026 stressed sovereign authority over foreign nationals’ entry. Bains disputed that the foreign proceedings involved a minor, while acknowledging a no-contest plea and probation. The court found no ground for discretionary writ relief; it recorded that the underlying security material was confidential.
Advocates appearing — Petitioner: Dr. Anand Duggal, Advocate, through video conference. Union of India: Amit Tiwari, Central Government Standing Counsel, with Ayushi Srivastava, Kushagra Malik, Arpan Narwal and Ujjwal Tyagi, Advocates.
