What is the position of the Right to Property in India?
Show answer
Answer: B. The 44th Amendment (1978) removed the right to property from Fundamental Rights. It is now a constitutional legal right under Article 300A, which says no person shall be deprived of property save by authority of law. 'No person' covers everyone, not just citizens.
Watch for: The word 'person' in Article 300A means it is not limited to citizens.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Article 300A protects any person, not only citizens.
- C. Wrong because it is no longer a Fundamental Right.
- D. Wrong because it is still a legal (constitutional) right.
