Key Principle Established
Right to property is a constitutional right under Article 300A. Deprivation requires authority of law, public purpose, and fair compensation.
The constitutional scope of Article 300A — “No person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law” — was examined after the deletion of the fundamental right to property (former Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31).
The Constitution Bench elevated the scope of Article 300A:
This judgment resurrected the right to property as a meaningful constitutional guarantee. It is now the leading authority on Article 300A and is cited in all land acquisition and property deprivation cases.
