legal help for OCI in INDIA

[gbhsmp]

Came through this website which has a peculiar line in it
http://www.livemint.com/Money/hjQTRS0e4 ... cards.html
which says

"he could take it up in court only to discover that legal recourse was not available to him as he was no longer an Indian citizen"

Is it true that OCI cannot take matters to court ?

[ban.s]

the report was written in 2013 so quite outdated in terms of PIO and OCI matters but your concerns has already been addressed within the article itself:

........you can get some of these rights, namely legal claims to property and enjoy economic, financial and educational parity with resident Indians by taking a few simple steps.
The first step is to apply for either a Person of Indian Origin (PIO) card or an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card.
