"Reasonable restrictions" are not very well defined in the Indian constitution. They are quite broad and open to interpretation on a case-by-case basis.
"... the State can impose reasonable restrictions in the
interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the
security of the State, friendly relations with foreign
States, public order, decency or morality or in relation
to contempt of court, defamation or incitement to an
offence."
- product50 9y agoCan reasonable restrictions be put on fundamental rights as well? So you are suggesting that the right to life has reasonable restrictions -- that in order to be friendly to a foreign state, the nation state can murder their citizens?
- thanksgiving 9y agoSorry for being off topic but I believe fundamental rights do not and should not require a citizenship test. If we hold these rights to be fundamental, we must not be willing to tolerate violations of such rights of any person in our jurisdiction.
- srean 9y ago> So you are suggesting that the right to life has reasonable restrictions Please read what he said, he is not saying that, the thing he quoted is, and that thing I believe is the constitution as it stands now.
- vkrm 9y agoI'm not suggesting anything, the Constitution of India specifically allows for "reasonable restrictions". The right to life does have restrictions - the death penalty is still legal in India.

So there is a guiding light and not everything will be case-by-case basis. http://planningcommission.nic.in/reports/genrep/rep_privacy.pdf http://planningcommission.nic.in/reports/genrep/rep_privacy....
