Solution

The correct option is A He or either of his parents or any of his grand-parents was born in India as defined in the Government of India Act, 1935

Option A is incorrect as it is not included in Article 6 of the Indian Constitution.The Constituent Assembly incorporated a generalised provision through Article 11 for the Parliament to regulate the citizenship by law. However, when it adopted the Constitution, it brought into force Part 2 of Constitution for Citizenship with Articles 5-11 dealing with it. Article 6 pertains to the Rights of Citizenship of certain persons who have migrated to India from the territory now included in Pakistan. It states that such persons would be deemed to be a citizen of India at the commencement of this Constitution.
