When was the right to property removed from the list of fundamental rights?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1978.

The right to property was removed from the list of fundamental rights in India with the 44th Amendment Act of 1978, which altered Article 19 and Article 31 of the Constitution. This amendment redefined Article 19(1)(f) to remove property rights as a fundamental right and modified Article 31 to exclude the right to property from the list of fundamental rights, thereby making it a legal right subject to statutory laws.
