Under which amendment of the Constitution of India was Right to Property removed from the list of Fundamental Rights?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 44th Amendment.
The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 is a landmark constitutional amendment in India. It removed the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights, which had previously been enshrined in Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31. This change was aimed at providing the government with greater flexibility in implementing land reforms and social welfare schemes. While it was no longer a fundamental right, the Right to Property was established as a constitutional right under a new provision, Article 300A, ensuring that no person could be deprived of their property except by authority of law.
