📜 Article 10
10. Continuance of the rights of citizenship — Every person who is or is deemed to be a citizen of India under any of the foregoing provisions of this Part shall, subject to the provisions of any law that may be made by Parliament, continue to be such citizen. |
🔍 Explanation
Citizenship is described in Part II of the Constitution of India, under which there are a total of seven articles from Articles 5 to 11. There is no permanent law in the constitution to ensure Indian citizenship. Rather, under Article 11, it was left to the Parliament to make suitable permanent law in this regard. And the Parliament enacted the Citizenship Act in the year 1955 for the purpose of implementing the same.
[An article exists on this topic, you must read it – Citizenship: Meaning, Acquisition, Termination etc.]
But until this law was not made, who would be considered a citizen of India and who would not, it has been mentioned from Article 5 to 11. And under this, in this article, we are going to understand Article 10.
| Article 10 – Continuance of rights of citizenship
This article gives an assurance that those who have been granted citizenship under Articles 5, 6, 7, and 8 will continue to be citizens in India. That means citizenship will not be taken away from such people.
As we know that after the enactment of the Constitution, the Citizenship Act was enacted in the year 1955 for acquisition and termination of citizenship of a person.
But even after this law was made, the one who had got citizenship under the said provisions of the constitution, his citizenship remained due to Article 10.
