Which Article of the Constitution states, 'no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law'?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Article 300A
Explanation:
· Article 300A states that “no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law.”
· It was added to the Constitution through the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1978, after removing the Right to Property from Fundamental Rights (Article 31).
· Since then, the Right to Property is a legal right, not a Fundamental Right, meaning it can be regulated or restricted by the State through due process of law.
· The article ensures that a person’s property can only be taken away by the government through a valid legislative process, not arbitrarily.
· Compensation may or may not be provided, depending on the specific law enacted by the legislature.
