Kochi: Residents of Kerala who were born outside the state but are socially adapted to the norms and values here are entitled to a nativity certificate for claiming educational and other benefits available to natives of the state, Kerala High Court has said.
The high court said that place of birth of a person or that of his/her parents cannot be the sole criterion for grant of nativity certificate to someone born outside Kerala, as their "social belongingness" to the state also has to be seen.
