– Due to various legal and social issues, particularly related to land reforms and acquisition for public purposes, the government felt the need to remove it from the Fundamental Rights chapter.
– The 44th Amendment Act, 1978, repealed Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31.
– A new Article 300A was inserted in Part XII of the Constitution, stating that “No person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law.” This makes it a constitutional or legal right, meaning the state cannot deprive a person of property except by enacting a law, but it is not subject to the extensive protection and enforceability mechanisms available for Fundamental Rights.
– Right to reside and settle in any part of India (Article 19(1)(e)).
– Right to practice any profession, or to carry on any occupation, trade or business (Article 19(1)(g)).
– Right to form associations or unions or co-operative societies (Article 19(1)(c) – cooperative societies added by 97th Amendment Act, 2011).
