Q43 (CISF/2024) Polity & Governance › Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Fundamental Duties

Which one among the following is not correct as per Article 14 of the Constitution of India?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

Article 14 of the Constitution of India states: "The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India."

The use of the term "any person" signifies that this right is available to both citizens and non-citizens (foreigners), as well as legal persons like corporations or registered societies. Therefore, statement A is incorrect because it falsely claims the right is guaranteed to citizens only. In contrast, certain Fundamental Rights like those under Articles 15, 16, 19, 29, and 30 are exclusive to citizens of India. Since Article 14 applies to all persons within India's territory, statements B, C, and D are legally accurate interpretations of the constitutional provision.
