Question

Which of the following rights is not a fundamental right?

• A. Right to Freedom
• B. Right to Property
• C. Right to Religion
• D. Right to Equality

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Historical context
Originally, the Right to Property was a fundamental right under Article 31.
Step 2: Constitutional Amendment
The 44th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1978 removed it from Part III (Fundamental Rights) and inserted Article 300A under Part XII (Legal Rights).
Step 3: Evaluate remaining rights
- Rights to freedom, religion, and equality are part of Part III and remain fundamental rights.
