UPSC Prelims 2021 question on Right to Property Article 300a

According to Article 300A of the Indian Constitution, "no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law." Since, the article says that no person shall be deprived, so the statement, "legal rights are available to citizens only", is incorrect. Thus, option (a) is incorrect and option (b) is correct.

This article was inserted in the Indian Constitution by 44th constitutional amendment. Before that, Right to property was a fundamental right under Article 31. Thus, option (c) is incorrect.

As this right is mentioned in constitution, it is a constitutional and legal right. So, option (d) is incorrect.

Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
