What is the position of the Right to Property in India?

Correct Answer: Legal right available to any person.

Explanation:

Initially, the Right to Property was a Fundamental Right in India under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31 of the Constitution of India.

However, through the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1978, the Right to Property was abolished as a Fundamental Right.

It was subsequently inserted as a legal and constitutional right under Article 300A in Part XII of the Indian Constitution.

Article 300A states that "no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law." Since the term used in Article 300A is "person" (which includes both citizens and non-citizens/foreigners as well as legal entities), the Right to Property is a legal right available to any person, not just citizens of India.
