Law of citizenship and aliens in India

The book falls into three parts. Part One is a general survey of the field: Part Two deals with citizenship in India; and Part Three is projected to the position of aliens in India. Some allied topics do not lend themselves to any classification in a sequence. They have been discussed in Miscellaneous Chapters VIII and XIV in Parts Two and Three respectively. The relevant provisions of the Constitution of India on Citizenship, the Citizenship Act and the Rules made under it, and the Statutes affecting aliens have been set out in Appendixes.

The method adopted is not that of annotating the relevant statutes section by section. The attempt has been to stress a logically arranged exposition of the subject. To explain what the law in India is, references to the corresponding laws of other countries have been made wherever found instructive and interesting. Decisions of the Courts in other countries and those of the International Court of Justice and other International Tribunals have been referred to to elucidate any point under discussion.
