भारताच्या नागरिकत्वाविषयी खालीलपैकी योग्य विधान/विधाने कोणती?
(a)भारतामध्ये एकल नागरिकत्व पद्धती आहे.
(b)नागरिकत्व कायदा 1955 साली संमत करण्यात आला.
(c)भारतीय राज्यघटनाच्या भाग 4 मध्ये नागरिकत्वाची तरतूद आहे.
India has a single citizenship system adopted from Britain, and the Citizenship Act was enacted in 1955. Statement C is incorrect because citizenship is in Part II, not Part IV.
व्यक्तीचे भारतीय नागरिकत्व संपुष्टात येते जर Indian citizenship of a person can be terminated if
(a)अ. व्यक्तीने स्वेच्छेने अन्य देशाचे नागरिकत्व स्विकारले तर. / A. A person voluntary acquire the citizenship of some other country.
(b)ब. व्यक्तीस नोंदणीद्वारे नागरिकत्व मिळाल्यावर पांच वर्षांच्या कालावधीत त्यास 18 महिन्यांचा कारावास झाला असेल तर. / B. A person who has become a citizen through registration is sentenced to imprisonment for 18 months within five years of his registration.
(c)क. फसवणूक/गैरप्रकार करून नागरिकत्व मिळवलेले आहे असे भारत सरकारचे समाधान झाले तर. / C. The government of India is satisfied that citizenship was obtained by fraud.
(d)ड. व्यक्तीने भारतीय राज्यघटनेशी अनिष्ठा दाखविली असेल तर. / D. A person has shown disloyalty to the Constitution of India.
Indian citizenship can be terminated by termination, deprivation, or renunciation under the Citizenship Act, 1955. Voluntary acquisition of another country's citizenship, obtaining it through fraud, and showing disloyalty to the Constitution are grounds for termination/deprivation, while minor imprisonment after registration is not a direct constitutional ground.
नागरिकत्व कायदा 1955 अंतर्गत, खालीलपैकी कोणत्या पर्यायाद्वारे एखादी व्यक्ती भारताचा नागरिक बनू शकते? खालीलपैकी योग्य पर्याय निवडा : Under the Citizenship Act 1955, by which of the following ways can a person become a citizen of India ? Select the correct answer using the codes given below :
(a)भूमी अधिग्रहीत झाल्यामुळे / By incorporation of territory
(b)वारसा हक्काने / By descent
(c)जन्म भारतात झाल्याने / By birth
(d)राष्ट्रीयीकरणाद्वारे / By nationalisation
(e)नोंदणी द्वारे / By registration
The Citizenship Act 1955 provides five ways to acquire citizenship: by birth (c), by descent (b), by registration (e), by naturalisation, and by incorporation of territory (a). Option (d) here says 'nationalisation' (राष्ट्रीयीकरण) — the state taking over private assets — not 'naturalisation', so it is a distractor. The correct set is therefore (a), (b), (c) and (e) — option 4.
