There is no law to authorise the Consular Officers in the missions and posts abroad to issue “No Objection Certificate” and “Bachelorhood Certificate” in respect of any Indian national. The power to declare any legal rights is vested in the competent courts in India. The fact whether a particular person who alleges himself to be a bachelor has made correct a statement cannot, therefore, be certified by Diplomatic or by the Consular officers. Any individual who desires such declaration may have to obtain the declaratory decree from the competent court in India. If, however, a decree of a competent court is furnished or a certified copy of such decrees produced by an applicant, it may be possible or open to the Diplomatic/Consular Officer to authenticate the correctness of such a certified copy after satisfying themselves about the scene of the court etc.
भारत का कोई भी क़ानून विदेश में स्थित भारतीय मिशनों के कोंसुलर अधिकारीयों को किसी भी भारतीय नागरिक के पक्ष में नो ओब्जेक्शन सर्टिफिकेट अथवा अविवाहित सर्टिफिकेट जारी करने की अनुमति नहीं देता है | ऐसा करने का अधिकार केवल भारत के उपयुक्त न्यायालयों को ही है |
