Property Rights In India
- Supreme Court of India recently reaffirmed the significance of property rights within the constitutional framework. The court’s ruling brought into light that while the right to property is no longer a fundamental right, it remains a constitutional right under Article 300A.
- This ruling arose from a case involving long-overdue compensation for land acquired for the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor Project. The justices emphasised the need for adequate compensation and legal authority before depriving individuals of their property.
- The right to property was originally a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31 of the Constitution of India. These provisions allowed citizens to acquire, hold, and dispose of property without arbitrary deprivation. However, the 44th Amendment in 1978 removed this status, relegating it to a legal right under Article 300A.
- Article 300A states that no person shall be deprived of their property save by authority of law. This legal right ensures that any acquisition of property must follow established legal procedures, including the provision of fair compensation to the owner.
- The amendment aimed to facilitate land acquisition for public purposes while protecting individual rights. The Supreme Court has ruled that the state cannot acquire property without adhering to proper procedures.
- The court emphasised that the right to property is intertwined with human rights, including the rights to health, livelihood, and shelter.
- This interpretation reinforces the need for the state to respect individual rights while pursuing public interests. Several landmark cases have shaped the interpretation of property rights in India.
- In *A K Gopalan v. State of Madras* (1950), the court upheld the state’s power to seize property for public order. The *Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala* (1973) case established the basic structure doctrine, indirectly influencing the redefinition of property rights. In *Jilubhai Nanbhai Khachar v. State of Gujarat* (1995), the court ruled that the right to property is not part of the Constitution’s basic structure.
