The Delhi High Court ruled that immigration officers have the authority to detain individuals holding valid visas for further questioning and additional security checks. This decision came during a petition by an Indian citizen with a valid German Business Schengen visa who faced repeated scrutiny at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The court cited Section 3 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, empowering officers to seek necessary information.
