Which Amendment Act restored the Right to Property as a legal right?
44th Amendment
The Right to Property was originally a Fundamental Right under Articles 19(1)(f) and 31 of the Indian Constitution.
The 44th Amendment Act, 1978, removed it from the list of Fundamental Rights and inserted it as Article 300A, making it a legal or constitutional right rather than a fundamental one.
As a legal right, the Right to Property means no person can be deprived of property except by authority of law, though it can no longer be enforced directly under Article 32.
Hence, the Right to Property was restored as a legal right by the 44th Amendment.
