Explanation: ā Correct Answer: D) 44th Amendment Act, 1978 š Explanation: The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 removed the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights under Article 31. It instead made it a simple legal right under the newly created Article 300A. This change meant that citizens could no longer approach the Supreme Court directly for the violation of property rights under Article 32. It was a measure intended to facilitate land reforms and the equitable distribution of wealth.
