Question and options

Which one of the following is NOT a Fundamental Right but a Constitutional and Legal Right?
  1. Right to property
  2. Right to assemble peacefully
  3. Right to move freely throughout the country
  4. Right to Constitutional remedies

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Right to property
The right to property was taken out of Part III by the Constitution (Forty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1978, which omitted Articles 19(1)(f) and 31. It survives as a constitutional and legal right under Article 300A: no person shall be deprived of property save by authority of law. The freedoms to assemble peacefully and to move freely remain Fundamental Rights under Article 19(1)(b) and (d), and the right to constitutional remedies is itself a Fundamental Right under Article 32.
