Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Originally a fundamental right (Article 31), it was demoted to a constitutional/legal right by the 44th Amendment (1978). Article 300A now protects property from executive action without authority of law. The change allowed the state to implement land reforms, abolish zamindari systems, and pursue social justice through land acquisition with compensation. Courts still adjudicate if acquisitions are for public purposes, but property holders lack the potent writ remedies. This shift underscores India’s socialist leanings—prioritizing equitable land distribution over absolute property rights—while retaining judicial scrutiny for fairness. Understanding the transition is key to grasping India’s socio-economic policy evolution.
