  3. Question: Right to vote in India is
    Answer: D. Statutory Right
    Explanation: Article 326: The elections to the House of the People and to the Legislative Assembly of every State shall be on the basis of adult suffrage. The legal status of the right to vote has been a subject matter of debate in various cases in our country. In the N.P. Ponnuswami case (1952), a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court held that the right to vote is a statutory right and subject to limitations imposed by it. In the Jyoti Basu case (1982), the court reiterated that the right to vote is neither a fundamental right nor a common law right but a simple statutory right. Subsequently in many cases, the same ratio was followed and upheld by the court. In the PUCL case (2003), Justice P.V. Reddy observed that the right to vote, if not a fundamental right, is certainly a 'constitutional right.' However, a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in the Kuldip Nayar case (2006), again held that right to vote is only a statutory right. However, in the Anoop Baranwal case (2023), the majority opinion, reiterated the judgment in the Kuldip Nayar case, that the right to vote is only a statutory right. Hence, the current legal status of the right to vote is that it is a statutory right.
