Correct option is C
The Correct Answer Is: (C) Legal Right
Explanation:
The Right to Property was originally a Fundamental Right under Article 31 of the Indian Constitution. However, through the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1978,
it was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights and made a Legal Right under Article 300A. This means that:
- Citizens do not have the right to approach the Supreme Court under Article 32 for the enforcement of the Right to Property.
- However, if the government unlawfully takes away a person's property, they can seek legal remedies in High Courts or lower courts.
Additional Knowledge:
- Article 300A states: "No person shall be deprived of his property except by authority of law."
- This means that the government can take private property for public welfare but only through legal procedures and compensation.
- Fundamental Rights can be enforced against the State, but Legal Rights can be modified or abolished by ordinary laws.
- The main reason for removing the Right to Property as a Fundamental Right was to make it easier for the government to acquire land for development projects.
