Consider the following statements regarding the Right to Property in India:
1. The Supreme Court of India declared the Right to Property as an unamendable part of the 'Basic Structure' of the Constitution in 1973.
2. The 44th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1978 deleted the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights and re-introduced it as a legal right under Article 300A.
Which of the statements given above is/are INCORRECT?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Supreme Court in 1973 did not consider the Right to Property as part of the basic structure of the Constitution and maintained that the Parliament had the power to amend it. Statement 2 is correct as the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 shifted it from Part III to Article 300A as a legal right.
