Hi, My child's Indian citizenship has ceased due to one of the parents getting a British passport. Is there anyway for a child to get British nationality, even if it is discretionary?

My daughters Indian passport expired in April 2023, but the passport was the the home office for her visa application. They returned it after an year in April 2024.

I have sent HCI three emails, tried to call them too but they are not responsive at all. Really ridiculous that they are making us jump through hoops for what should be a very simple process.
