What is the position of the Right to Property in India
✓ Correct answer: b) Legal right available to any person
ExplanationOriginally, the Indian Constitution recognized the Right to Property as a Fundamental Right under Article 19(1)(f) and Article31. Later, the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1978 abolished the Right to Property as a Fundamental Right.It was then made a legal right under Article 300-A of the Constitution.Article 300-A states: "No person shall be deprived of his property save by Authority of Law."Thus, the Right to Property in India is now a legal right available to any person, not a Fundamental Right.12
