Right to Property under
Indian Constitution
The Constitution originally provided for the right to property under
Articles 19 and 31.
Article 19 guaranteed to all citizens the right to acquire, hold and
dispose off property.
Article 31 provided that "no person shall be deprived of his property
save by authority of law."
It also provided that compensation would be paid to a person whose
property has been taken for public purposes. The provisions relating
to the right to property were changed a number of times.
The Forty-Forth Amendment of 1978 deleted the right to property
from the list of fundamental rights
A new provision, Article 300-A, was added to the
constitution which provided that "no person shall be
deprived of his property save by authority of law".
Thus if a legislature makes a law depriving a person of his
property, there would be no obligation on the part of the
State to pay anything as compensation.
The aggrieved person shall have no right to move the court
under Article 32.
Thus, the right to property is no longer a fundamental right,
though it is still a constitutional right.

The Ninth Schedule contains a list of central and state laws which
cannot be challenged in courts.
The Schedule became a part of the Constitution in 1951, when the
document was amended for the first time.
It was created by the new Article 31B, which along with 31A was
brought in by the government to protect laws related to agrarian
reform and for abolishing the Zamindari system.
While most of the laws protected under the Schedule concern
agriculture/land issues, the list includes other subjects, such as
reservation.
A Tamil Nadu law that provides 69 per cent reservation in the state
is part of the Schedule.
Article 31A and 31 B
While Article 31A extends protection to ‘classes’ of laws, A. 31B
shields specific laws or enactments.
