Q77 (CDS-II/2011) Polity & Governance › Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Fundamental Duties › Right to Freedom Answer Verified

Which one among the following is not guaranteed by the Constitution of India ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Constitution of India originally guaranteed seven fundamental freedoms under Article 19. These included the freedom to move freely throughout the country [2], the freedom to assemble peacefully without arms [3], and the freedom to practice any trade or profession [1]. However, the 'freedom to own, acquire and dispose of property' (originally Article 19(1)(f)) was deleted as a fundamental right by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 [3]. While the right to property still exists as a constitutional right under Article 300A, it is no longer a guaranteed fundamental freedom under Part III of the Constitution [4]. Consequently, while the other three options remain protected fundamental rights under Article 19, the freedom to acquire and dispose of property anywhere in the country is no longer guaranteed in the same manner.
