Which of the following freedoms is not guaranteed by the Indian Constitution under Article 19 ?
Explanation
Article 19 of the Indian Constitution originally guaranteed seven fundamental freedoms. However, the 44th Amendment Act, 1978, deleted the "freedom to acquire, hold and dispose of property" which was previously listed under Article 19(1)(f). This right was subsequently converted into a legal right under Article 300A in Part XII of the Constitution. Currently, Article 19 guarantees six freedoms: speech and expression, peaceful assembly, formation of associations/unions, free movement, residence, and profession. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer as it is no longer a fundamental freedom under Article 19. Options A, C, and D remain protected fundamental rights under Articles 19(1)(b), 19(1)(d), and 19(1)(g) respectively.
