Q1Consider the following statements: Statement I: Part II of the Constitution is not by itself a complete code for all present-day modes of acquisition and loss of Indian citizenship. Statement II: Article 11 preserves Parliament's power to legislate on acquisition, termination and all other matters relating to citizenship, and the Citizenship Act, 1955 supplies the continuing statutory framework. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Both statements are correct, and Statement II explains Statement I. Articles 5-10 chiefly address citizenship at the commencement of the Constitution. Article 11 authorises Parliament's continuing legislation, under which the Citizenship Act, 1955 governs modern acquisition and loss.
Q2With reference to Article 3 of the Constitution, consider the following statements: 1. A Bill for the purposes of Article 3 can be introduced in either House of Parliament only on the recommendation of the President. 2. The affected State Legislature must be given an opportunity to express its views within the period specified by the President. 3. Parliament is bound by the views expressed by the affected State Legislature. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The President's recommendation is required before introduction, and the affected State Legislature is asked for its views within a specified period. Statement 3 is incorrect because those views are consultative, not binding; Parliament retains the final legislative choice.
Q3With reference to citizenship and Fundamental Rights, consider the following statements: 1. Articles 14 and 21 protect persons and are not confined only to citizens. 2. Article 19 contains citizen-specific freedoms. 3. An Overseas Citizen of India cardholder has dual citizenship and a voting right in India. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: Articles 14 and 21 use person-based protection, whereas Article 19 is citizen-specific. Statement 3 is incorrect. OCI is a statutory card status under the Citizenship Act, not dual citizenship, and it does not carry a voting right.
Q4Consider the following statements about constitutional schedules and territorial reorganisation: 1. A law made under Article 3 may amend the First Schedule. 2. Such a law may amend the Fourth Schedule to adjust the allocation of Rajya Sabha seats. 3. Every such change is deemed to be a constitutional amendment under Article 368. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Article 4 permits laws under Articles 2 and 3 to alter the First and Fourth Schedules and to contain supplemental, incidental and consequential provisions. Statement 3 is incorrect because Article 4 expressly excludes such laws from being treated as amendments under Article 368.
Q5With reference to Union Territory administration, consider the following statements: 1. Under Article 239, a Union Territory is administered by the President through an administrator appointed by the President. 2. Article 239A enables Parliament to create a legislature, a Council of Ministers, or both for Puducherry. 3. Under Article 239AA, public order, police and land remain outside the legislative domain of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
All three statements are correct. Article 239 supplies the general administrative rule, Article 239A permits an elected arrangement for Puducherry, and Article 239AA creates Delhi's special arrangement while reserving public order, police and land outside its legislative domain.
