Correct Answer: Morarji Desai

Solution : The correct answer is Morarji Desai .

The Indian Constitution initially recognised the right to property as a fundamental right but faced challenges, particularly with the First Amendment of 1951 and subsequent laws concealed in the Ninth Schedule. Further erosion occurred during legal battles after the 1969 nationalisation of banks. The Morarji Desai government dealt the final blow, scrapping the right to property as a fundamental right in 1978, replaced by Article 300-A, allowing dispossession without compensation through legislation.
