State reorganisation laws cannot curtail a citizen's right to reside and settle in any part of the country, the Supreme Court has held in a judgment.
A Bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and V. Ramasubramanian observed that "there is only one domicile, that is, the domicile of the country and there is no separate domicile for a State".
"Under the Constitution, India is a Union of States. Every part of every State is an integral and inseverable part of India," Justice Banerjee, who authored the judgment, wrote.
