1. Right to work
2. Right to privacy
3. Right to free and compulsory education in the age bracket of six to eighteen years
Select the answer using the code given below:
2 only
The question asks us to identify which of the rights mentioned are considered Fundamental Rights under the Constitution of India. Let's analyze each option:
- Right to Work: This is not a Fundamental Right under the Indian Constitution. It is a Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP) under Article 41. While the DPSPs aim to guide the state in policy-making for the welfare of the people, they are not justiciable in courts.
- Right to Privacy: This is a Fundamental Right. Following the landmark Supreme Court verdict in the case of Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) vs. Union of India, 2017, the Right to Privacy was declared a Fundamental Right under Article 21 of the Constitution, which protects life and personal liberty.
- Right to Free and Compulsory Education in the Age Bracket of Six to Eighteen Years: This is inaccurate. The correct age bracket stipulated by the Constitution for free and compulsory education is six to fourteen years under Article 21A, making it a Fundamental Right. The age bracket provided in the question (six to eighteen years) is incorrect.
Considering the options, we find:
- 1 and 2: As evaluated, only the Right to Privacy (option 2) is a Fundamental Right. Right to Work is not.
- 2 only: This correctly identifies the only option that is a Fundamental Right.
- 2 and 3: While Right to Privacy is correct, the age bracket for education is incorrect as per the Constitution.
- 3 only: This option is incorrect due to the inaccurate age bracket.
Thus, the correct answer is 2 only, signifying the Right to Privacy as a Fundamental Right.
