Which amendment removed the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights?

Correct Answer: 44th Amendment Act

Subject: History

• 1st Amendment Act
• 25th Amendment Act
• 42nd Amendment Act
• 44th Amendment Act

Explanation: The 44th Amendment Act of 1978, enacted by the Morarji Desai government, removed the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights to easily implement land reforms. It was shifted to a new Article 300A, making it a legal or constitutional right instead. This meant that if a citizen's property rights were violated, they could no longer directly approach the Supreme Court via writ petitions.
