Which Fundamental Rights are available, on the soil of India, to *any person* — citizen or foreigner — as opposed to being restricted to citizens only?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. The ICSI text gives the citizen-vs-person classification under Part III in three short clauses.
2. **Articles 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27 and 28** are available to *any person* on the soil of India — citizen or foreigner.
3. **Articles 15, 16, 19 and 30** are guaranteed only to citizens (Option A is the citizen-only group, not the any-person group).
4. **Articles 15, 17, 18, 20 and 24** function as *absolute* limitations upon legislative power, but that is a separate classification axis. The question asks who can claim the rights, not how absolute they are.
