Right to Property was removed from the category of Fundamental Rights and made a Constitutional Right by which amendment?
A 42nd Amendment
B 44th Amendment
C 45th Amendment
D 50th Amendment
Correct Answer:  B. 44th Amendment
EXPLANATION

This question asks about a specific constitutional amendment that changed the status of the Right to Property in the Indian Constitution.

The Right to Property was originally listed as a Fundamental Right under Article 19(1)(f) of the Indian Constitution. However, the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 removed this right from Part III (Fundamental Rights) and relocated it to Part XII-B as a Constitutional Right under Article 300-A. This amendment was passed during the Emergency period and significantly altered the constitutional framework regarding property rights in India. The 44th Amendment is historically significant as it made property rights subject to state regulation while retaining them as a constitutional guarantee, thereby reducing their fundamental status.

The 44th Amendment removed the Right to Property from Fundamental Rights and made it a Constitutional Right.
