Question

The right to freedom of movement in India is a ____________.
A. Legal right
B. Natural right
C. Moral right
D. Fundamental right

Answer 1

Hint: We need to know that the Article of the Universal Declaration of Human rights states that “Every individual has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state”. It is an important aspect of the personal liberty of the individual. The modern states have no definite tendency among them to arbitrarily deny it.

Complete answer:
The right to freedom of movement in India is judicially recognized as a fundamental right that allows all the citizens of India to move to any corner of the Indian territory. However, there are certain restrictions regarding the Schedule Tribes area and the army area. Any individual can lawfully move freely within a country and has a right to leave the country and the right to enter a country of which you’re a citizen. Article \[19\] of the Indian constitution guarantees that any individual who is a citizen of India has complete rights to move freely throughout the territory of India. This also includes that any citizen has the right to settle and reside in any part of the territory. Every citizen irrespective of their Caste and religious backgrounds are free to residents in any part of the county.
So, the correct answer is Option D.

Note: The freedom of the right to move freely within the territory is not only a Constitutional or Fundamental right. It is a Human right too. These rights are given by the constitution-makers. However, certain restrictions are imposed on the grounds of Public interest and for the protection of Scheduled Tribes.
