What is the position of the Right to Property in India?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Article 300A of the Indian Constitution, no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law. Since the article says that no person shall be deprived, the statement, legal rights are available to citizens only, is incorrect. Thus, option (a) is incorrect and option (b) is correct.This article was inserted in the Indian Constitution by the 44th constitutional amendment. Before that, the Right to Property was a fundamental right under Article 31. Thus, option (c) is incorrect.As this right is mentioned in the constitution, it is a constitutional and legal right. So, option (d) is incorrect.Source Attribution:Polity: M. LakshmikanthVision IAS material
