Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Statement 1 is incorrect as the Constitution only provides for who is a citizen at the commencement of the Constitution and leaves other matters relating to citizenship to be determined by Parliament by law. Statement 2 is also incorrect as renunciation of citizenship by Indian citizens can only be done, after they have acquired the citizenship of another country. Statement 3 is correct, as such a provision has been provided for in the Citizenship Act of 1955. Some other reasons of taking away of citizenship by the Central Government can be disloyalty to the Constitution, reason during a war etc. Statement 4 is incorrect, as questions relating to determination of citizenship have been completely left to the Central Government, under the Citizenship Act of 1955. Thus, the right answer is[c].
