Understanding India's Right to Property Status
The Right to Property in India has undergone significant changes in its constitutional classification.
Historical Context: Fundamental Right
Initially, the Right to Property was enshrined as a Fundamental Right under the Constitution of India. It was guaranteed under two articles:
- Article 19(1)(f): Guaranteed the right to acquire, hold, and dispose of property.
- Article 31: Provided protection against deprivation of property without adequate compensation and due process.
Current Status: Legal Right
The 44th Amendment Act, 1978, made a crucial change:
- The Right to Property was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights (Part III of the Constitution).
- It was re-established as a statutory or Legal Right under Article 300-A, located in Part XII of the Constitution.
This means the right to property is now protected by law, but it does not possess the same sacrosanct status or enforceability mechanism (like moving the High Courts under Article 226 or Supreme Court under Article 32) as Fundamental Rights.
Conclusion
Therefore, the Right to Property in India is currently classified as a Legal Right.
