The right to property was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights enlisted, in the Constitution of India through which one of the following Amendments ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The right to property was originally a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31 of the Indian Constitution [c1][c2]. However, it was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978, enacted during the Janata Government's tenure [c2][t9]. This amendment repealed Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31 from Part III and inserted a new Article 300A in Part XII [c1][t7]. Consequently, the right to property transitioned from a fundamental right to a legal or constitutional right, ensuring that no person is deprived of their property except by the authority of law [c1][t10]. Other options like the 73rd Amendment pertain to Panchayati Raj institutions [t3][t6], while the 44th specifically addressed the socio-economic need for land reforms by altering property status [t9].
