ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:

I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my teacher, Dr. R.K. Yadav, who
gave me the golden opportunity to work on the project on the “Citizenship Law in India: An
Analysis”. I would like to thank you for giving me such a good topic to research on and for
the help and guidance which you gave me during the making of my project.

AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT:

This project aims to understand the law of citizenship in India. The conferment of a person,
as a citizen, is governed by Article 5-11 of the Indian Constitution. This project aims at
understanding the concept of citizen and the related case laws.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The methodology used in this project is Doctrinal Methodology.

Doctrinal research is concerned with legal prepositions and doctrines and in law field it
indicates arranging, ordering and analysis of the legal structure, legal frame work and case
laws to search out the new thing by extensive surveying of legal literature but without any
field work. Need of the Doctrinal Research is to solve the legal problem with a new output
within a short period of time with less expense by closely examining and analyzing the legal
doctrine, legal framework and case laws in a logical, systematic and scientific way.

INTRODUCTION

The conferment of a person, as a citizen of India, is governed by Article 5-11 of the Indian
Constitution. Citizenship law in India is governed by the Citizenship Act 1955 and The
Constitution of India. India is one of few countries whose citizenship law is incorporated in
the constitution itself. Due to unavoidable circumstances arose because of the partition of
India and Pakistan and the freedom of Indian state to either join the Union or leave it, the
citizenship law had to be incorporated in the constitution itself.
