The petition, filed by Fakir's son, said that she is a permanent resident of Gobindapur in North 24 Parganas district and that her grandfather's name appears in the 1952 electoral roll and her parents' names in the 2002 roll.
Fakir moved to Mumbai about 20 years ago and worked as a domestic worker.
On July 19 this year, persons in plain clothes, who identified themselves as police personnel, took her to a holding centre in Chembur and seized her Aadhaar card and phone without a receipt.
"No competent authority had, prior to the deprivation of her liberty, conducted a fair inquiry into her nationality, examined her documentary records, afforded her notice of the allegation against her, or given her an effective opportunity to establish her Indian citizenship," it was submitted.
