Question

Consider the following statements:
1. Article 301 pertains to the Right to Property.
2. Right to Property is a legal right but not a fundamental right.
3. Article 300 A was inserted in the Constitution of India by the Congress Government at the Center by the 44th Constitutional Amendment.
Which of the above statements are true?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because of the following reasons:

Statement 1 is incorrect. Article 301 relates to the freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse throughout the territory of India. The Right to Property is dealt with under Article 300 A.

Statement 2 is correct. Originally, the Right to Property was a Fundamental Right under Article 19 1 f and Article 31. However, it was converted into a legal or constitutional right, meaning it is no longer part of the Fundamental Rights protected under Part 3 of the Constitution.

Statement 3 is incorrect. While it is true that Article 300 A was inserted by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1978, this was done by the Janata Party government led by Morarji Desai, not by the Congress Government.

Since only statement 2 is accurate, option A is the correct choice.
