What is the position of the Right to Property in India?
Options
Legal right available to citizens only
Legal right available to any person
Fundamental Right available to citizens only
Neither Fundamental Right nor legal right
Explanation
Option (b) is correct.
The Right to Property ceased to be a Fundamental Right via the 44th Amendment Act (1978). It was inserted as Article 300A, making it a legal right (or constitutional right). Article 300A states "No person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law," meaning it is available to citizens and non-citizens alike.
Answer: (b).
