Study Notes

CLAT 2022 Questions

Question 79: Mr. Z, an Indian citizen, had his passport seized by the Indian government. He can challenge the seizure based on his fundamental right to free movement and reside in India.
Question 80: Fundamental rights to movement and residence in India are protected, but subject to reasonable restrictions. The validity of laws imposing these restrictions can be challenged in court.
Question 81: Mr. A, a Hindu, married Ms. B, and later converted to a religion allowing polygamy (multiple wives). His subsequent marriage to Ms. C did not invalidate his marriage to Ms. B under Hindu law.
Question 82: The same facts as question 81. Ms. B's complaint of bigamy against Mr. A is not valid. His later marriage (to Ms. C) under a different religion does not affect his initial Hindu marriage.
