💡 Analysis & Explanation
Constitutional Framework Review ▼
Under the foundational architecture of the Indian Constitution, the framework explicitly avoids dual citizenship, retaining absolute legislative dominance over national identity at the federal level.
Legislative Power Allocation ▼
According to the specific mandates delineated within the Citizenship Act of 1955, whenever any foreign territory physically merges into the geopolitical boundary of India, neither the state legislature nor the judicial bodies hold the power to grant sovereign identity.
Conclusion ▼
The supreme, exclusive power to explicitly specify which persons of that newly acquired territory shall become formal citizens of India is vested solely in the Union Government.
