Question 92
AOptions
BSolution
Originally, the Right to Property was a Fundamental Right under Article 31 and Article 19(1)(f). However, it was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978. It was then shifted to Part XII of the Constitution and made a legal right under Article 300A. As a legal right under Article 300A, it is available to 'any person', meaning both citizens and non-citizens (juridical persons like companies) can exercise this right, though it can be regulated by ordinary law and does not automatically lead to compensation upon deprivation unless explicitly provided by law.
