Which conclusion is correct because the Right to Property is no longer a Fundamental Right?

Correct answer: It is protected as a legal right

Direct answer: C. In the present constitutional position, the Right to Property is not one of the Fundamental Rights in Part III, but property is still protected as a constitutional legal right under Article 300A: a person cannot be deprived of property except by authority of law. Therefore, losing Fundamental Right status does not mean that property has no protection at all. A is wrong because the right continues in legal and constitutional form. B is wrong because freedom of religion concerns belief, practice, and related religious freedoms, not ownership of property. D is wrong because the Right against Exploitation deals with practices such as trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in prohibited circumstances. The change in status means the remedy and level of protection differ from those for a Fundamental Right; it does not erase the right completely. Memory cue: “not Fundamental” does not mean “not a right.”
