Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
The Constitution of India addresses the issue of citizenship in Part II (Articles 5 to 11). It provides a framework for determining who would be considered a citizen of India on January 26, 1950.
Statement 1 is correct: The Indian Constitution provides for single citizenship, where citizens owe allegiance only to the Indian Union. Indian citizenship ends if a person voluntarily acquired foreign citizenship. A person can acquire only one domicile by choice by taking up fixed residence in a state or region.
Statement 2 is incorrect: In India, the Head of the State is the President and as per the Indian constitution both a citizen by birth as well as a naturalised citizen are eligible for the office of President.
Statement 3 is incorrect: A foreigner who has previously received Indian citizenship, can be deprived of his citizenship. The Citizenship Act (1955) provides for acquisition and loss of citizenship. Indian citizenship can be terminated in cases where: the citizenship is obtained by fraud, shown disloyalty to the Constitution of India, unlawfully exchanged goods or information with the enemy while at war, two years of imprisonment in any country within five years of registration or naturalisation, been ordinarily resident out of India for seven years continuously.
For S3, "absolute language trap" "under any circumstances" No legal system gives irreversible rights with-out any revocation mechanism. If someone turns into a terrorist, enemy agent, etc., can’t the state revoke their citizenship? yes it can!, Hence S3 likely false. For S1, By general observation: Have you ever seen around you anyone with more than 1 citizenship or domicile? Probably not, hence S1 likely true.
