Who was the Prime Minister when Right to Property was scrapped as a Fundamental Right?

Morarji Desai

The correct answer is Option 3 - Morarji Desai

The Right to Property in India underwent a significant transformation with the passage of the 44th Amendment Act of 1978. This amendment reclassified the Right to Property from a Fundamental Right to a Legal Right. Article 300-A was introduced, stating that "no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law." This amendment effectively moved the Right to Property from the section on Fundamental Rights to Part XII of the Constitution, which deals with the Concurrent List, thereby establishing it as a legal right. This change occurred during the tenure of Prime Minister Morarji Desai.
