‘Right to Property’ was under major controversy since its inception in the Constitution of India. With regard to its present position, consider the following
(1) It is a Constitutional right
(2) The Supreme Court can issue writ jurisdiction, for the violation of the right.
(3) The right to property was deleted from Fundamental Rights by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976.Select the correct answer
CorrectANSWER: B
44th Amendment Act of 1978 abolished the right to property as a Fundamental Right by repealing Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31 from Part III. Instead, the Act inserted a new Article 300A in Part XII. It provides that no person shall be deprived of his property except by
authority of law. Thus, the right to property still remains a legal right or a constitutional right, though no longer a fundamental right. It is not a part of the basic structure of the Constitution. Writs are issued by Supreme Court only for the violation of the Fundamental
Rights not legal rights.IncorrectANSWER: B
