Which of the following Fundamental Rights has been deleted from the original list of fundamental rights provided in the Constitution of India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Right to property.
- Article 31 of the Indian Constitution first recognised the right to property as a basic right. However, the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 eliminated it as a basic right.
- Later, Article 300A established the Right to Property as a legal right, guaranteeing that no one can be stripped of their property unless specifically permitted by law.
- This modification sought to strike a balance between more general social and economic demands and individual property rights.
