Which one of the following rights conferred by the constitution of India is also available to non-citizens?

The Constitution of India distinguishes between Fundamental Rights available only to citizens and those available to all persons (including non-citizens). Article 19 guarantees six freedoms, including speech, assembly, association, movement, residence, and the right to carry on any occupation or trade [c1][t1]. These specific rights under Article 19 are strictly confined to citizens of India and are not available to aliens or foreigners [c2][t3]. In contrast, the Right to Constitutional Remedies under Article 32 is available to any 'person' whose fundamental rights (that are applicable to them) have been violated [t8]. While some sources describe it as a right for citizens, legal jurisprudence confirms that non-citizens can approach the Supreme Court to enforce rights guaranteed to them, such as Article 14 (Equality) or Article 21 (Life and Liberty) [t2][t8]. Therefore, among the given options, only the right to constitutional remedies can be accessed by non-citizens to protect their applicable rights.
