Part III of the Constitution of India is also known as “Magna Carta” . It is one of the most important part of the Constitution. 

All people, irrespective of race, religion, caste or sex, have been given the right to move the Supreme Court and the High Courts for the enforcement of their fundamental rights. There are seven categories of Fundamental Rights (FR) which are covered from Articles 12-35.

Fundamental rights are the basic human rights enshrined in the Constitution of India which are guaranteed to all citizens. They are applied without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, etc. Significantly, fundamental rights are enforceable by the courts, subject to certain conditions.

Right to Property is not a Fundamental Right:-

There was one more fundamental right in Indian Constitution, i.e., the right to property. 

However, this right was removed from the list of fundamental rights by the 44th Constitutional Amendment, 1978. 

This was because this right proved to be a hindrance towards attaining the goal of socialism and redistributing wealth (property) equitably among the people. 

  The right to property is now a legal right and not a fundamental right.
