SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 26

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Right to Property.

• The Right to Property was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44th Amendment Act, 1978.
• It was subsequently made a legal right under Article 300-A in Part XII of the Constitution.
• Earlier, Article 19 granted citizens the right to acquire, hold, and dispose of property, while Article 31 stated that no person shall be deprived of his property except by authority of law.
• After the 44th Amendment, the Right to Property ceased to be a Fundamental Right, though it remains a Constitutional Right.
• Currently, Part III of the Indian Constitution guarantees Six Fundamental Rights to all citizens:
  • Right to Equality (Articles 14–18)
  • Right to Freedom (Articles 19–22)
  • Right against Exploitation (Articles 23–24)
  • Right to Freedom of Religion (Articles 25–28)
  • Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles 29–30)
  • Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32)
