Originally a Fundamental Right under Article 31, the Right to Property was removed from Part III by the 44th Amendment Act, 1978. It was then placed under Article 300A in Part XII of the Constitution, making it a constitutional legal right. Article 300A states that “No person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law,” protecting it against arbitrary executive action but allowing for deprivation by legislative action.
