SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level - 4 Aug 2022 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q30

To which part of the Constitution of India was the Right to Property added after it was omitted from the chapter of the Fundamental Rights?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Part XII

The Right to Property was removed from the chapter of Fundamental Rights (Part III, specifically Articles 19(1)(f) and 31) by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978. It was then added to Part XII of the Constitution as a legal or constitutional right under Article 300A.This change meant that while no person can be deprived of their property except by authority of law, it is no longer a fundamental right enforceable directly by the Supreme Court under Article 32.
