Article 22 provides protection against arrest and detention in certain cases.
Right to Property was originally a Fundamental Right under Article 31 but was removed by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1978, and converted into a legal right under Article 300A.
Right to Vote is a Constitutional Right under Article 326, not a Fundamental Right.
Right to Employment is considered a Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP) under Article 41, which the state strives to secure.
