Which of the following rights was deleted from the list of fundamental rights by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Right to property.

The Right to Property was deleted from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act in 1978. Initially, it was enshrined under Article 31 as a Fundamental Right. However, the amendment reclassified it as a legal right under Article 300A in the Constitution. This change allowed the government to implement land reforms and acquire property for public purposes without the same level of restrictions imposed by its previous status as a Fundamental Right.
