Which amendment of Indian Constitution removed the right to property from the list of fundamental rights?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 44th.

The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 made a significant change by removing the right to property from the Fundamental Rights section of the Indian Constitution. Previously, it was protected under Article 31 as a Fundamental Right. After the amendment, it was reclassified as a legal right under Article 300A. This shift was part of a larger effort to realign individual rights with the needs of the state and address evolving social and economic conditions.
