Article 10 of the Indian Constitution
Title: Continuance of the rights of citizenship
🔹 In Brief:
Article 10 states:
Every person who is or is deemed to be a citizen of India under Articles 5 to 9 shall continue to be such a citizen, subject to any law made by Parliament.
✅ Key Points:
-
Confirms that those who became citizens under Articles 5 to 9 will remain Indian citizens.
-
But their citizenship is subject to laws made by Parliament, such as the Citizenship Act, 1955.
-
Parliament has full power to:
-
Regulate citizenship
-
Terminate or restrict citizenship rights
-
🧾 Example:
A person who got Indian citizenship under Article 6 (migrated from Pakistan) will remain a citizen, unless Parliament passes a law that cancels their citizenship due to valid reasons (e.g., acquiring foreign citizenship).
