Per NCERT, what was the original status of the RIGHT TO PROPERTY in the Indian Constitution — and what happened to it?
AIt was originally a Fundamental Right (Article 31) but was deleted from Part III by the 44th Amendment (1978) and made a legal right (Article 300A)
BIt is still a Fundamental Right unchanged since 1950
CIt was added only in 2002 via the 86th Amendment
DIt was never a right at any stage in the Constitution
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It was originally a Fundamental Right (Article 31) but was deleted from Part III by the 44th Amendment (1978) and made a legal right (Article 300A)
Right to Property's demotion via the 44th Amendment is explicitly referenced in NCERT. The other options misstate the history.
