Abstract
Certain fundamental rights and their safeguards are to be found in the constitution. These rights are enjoyed by citizens and aliens alike. ‘Full exercise of such rights may be subject to conditions as in the case of transfer of land to an alien, which requires the permission of the President under the Transfer of Property (Restriction) Act. But most rights are assured to citizen and alien alike and their full enjoyment is unrestricted.’1
