What does Constitution of India Reveal about Property?
Initially, Right to Property was a fundamental right under the Constitution in the form of-
Article 19(f) which spoke about the right to acquire, hold and dispose of property, subject to reasonable restrictions
& Article 31 which, as originally enacted, said that no person shall be deprived of his property except by authority of law.
Forty Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of India, deleted Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31[Article 300-A is now the provision regarding right to property]. The current position of the Supreme Court on interpretation on the right to property can be gleaned from one of the few direct judgements on property after the 44th Amendment, particularly the case of ‘Jilubhai Nanbhai Khachar Etc. v. State of Gujrat And Anr. Etc.’. This case dealt with mines taken by the State under legislated laws from erstwhile revenue farmers and upheld the right of the State to do so under Article 300-A, not entertaining any discussion on adequacy of compensation. Among other things, it is unequivocally held that the right to property under Article 300-A is not a “basic feature or structure of the Constitution” and that the Legislature has power to acquire the property of private person exercising the power of eminent domain by a law for public purpose
