Which of the following statements relating to Right to Property in the Constitution of India is NOT correct today?
1. Right to Property is a Constitutional Right
2. It is not a part of the basic structure of the Constitution
3. It protects private property against executive action but not against legislative action
4. In case of violation, the aggrieved person cannot move the High Court under Article 226.
Answer: D
Only statement 4 is not correct, so the answer is Only 4.
Since the 44th Amendment of 1978, property is no longer a fundamental right but a constitutional right under Article 300A, which says no person shall be deprived of property save by authority of law. So statement 1 is true.
Statement 2 is true: the Supreme Court has held the right to property is not part of the basic structure. Statement 3 is true: Article 300A protects against deprivation by executive action without legal authority, but a law can still take property. Statement 4 is false. An aggrieved person cannot move the Supreme Court under Article 32, since it is not a fundamental right, but can move the High Court under Article 226, which covers legal rights as well.
