Why is the Right to Property not considered a Fundamental Right at present?

Correct answer: Because it now exists as a legal right under the Constitution

Correct answer: A. The Right to Property was originally included among the Fundamental Rights, but it was removed from that group by the Forty-fourth Constitutional Amendment. It is now protected as a constitutional legal right under Article 300A: a person cannot be deprived of property except by authority of law. Therefore, property remains legally protected, but it is not presently one of the Fundamental Rights. This distinction matters because Fundamental Rights have their own constitutional enforcement framework, while an ordinary or other legal right is protected through the relevant legal process. Option B is wrong because property was earlier a Fundamental Right and has constitutional history. C is wrong because property did not become a religious freedom. D is wrong because protection from exploitation concerns forced labour and similar abuse, not ownership of property. Memory cue: property is still protected, but it is no longer in the Fundamental Rights list.
