The Right to Property was originally a Fundamental Right under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31 of the Constitution.
The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 repealed Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31, removing the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights. It was subsequently made a legal right under Article 300A, which was inserted into Part XII of the Constitution. Article 300A states that “no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law.”
The change from a Fundamental Right to a legal right meant that the right could be regulated or restricted by ordinary law passed by the legislature, provided it was done by the authority of law, whereas previously it required a constitutional amendment or was subject to strict judicial review based on fundamental rights principles. Article 301 in Part XIII deals with freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse within the territory of India.
