fundamental Rights freedom of residence

Every citizen has the right to reside and settle in any part of the territory of the counrty .this right has two parts

(a)the right to reside in any part of the country which means to stay at any place temproraily and

(b)the right to settle in any part of the country ,which means of set up a home or domicile at any place permanentely .

this right is intended to remove internal barriers within the country or between any of its parts .this promotes nationalism and avoids narrow mindness .

the state can impose reasonable retrictions on the exercise of this right on two grounds namely the interest of genral public and the protection of interest of any scheduled tribes .the right of outsiders to reside and settle in trible areas is restricted to protect the distinctive culture ,lenguage ,customs and manners of scheduled tribes and to safeguard their traditional vocation and properties against exploitation .In any parts of the country , the tribles have been permitted to regulate their property rights in accordance with their customary rules and laws .

the supreme court held that certain areas can be banned for certain kinds of persons like prostitutes and habitual offenders .

from the above it is clear that the right to residence and the right to movement are overlapping to some extent . both are complementary to each other .
