In which year did 44th Amendment remove the right to property from the list of fundamental rights?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1978.
- The 44th Amendment to the Constitution of India, passed in 1978, removed the right to property from the list of fundamental rights.
- This amendment altered Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31, which had previously guaranteed the right to acquire, hold, and dispose of property as a fundamental right.
- However, after the 44th Amendment, the right to property was redefined as a legal right under Article 300A, which meant that it was no longer a fundamental right.
