EXCEPT
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. right to property.
The right to property was originally regarded as a fundamental right in India, but by the 44th amendment of the Indian Constitution, under the provision of Article 300(A), of PART XII it was reduced to merely a constitutional right.
The right to property states - that no one has the authority to deprive a person of his or her immovable property, apart from the state (government). Although the government has the power to acquire private properties, the reason for acquisition should be valid and must be in the public interest. For instance, private properties are acquired in exchange for a proper value to develop civic amenities.
