Right to Property under Article 300A

♤ Article 300-A states that no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law. This means that-

o Property is no longer a Fundamental Right, i.e. the aggrieved individual would not be competent to move to Supreme Court under Article 32, for any violation of Art 300A.

o Also, a law will be necessary to deprive a person of his property.

♤ One can’t move to the Supreme Court or High Court in case this right is violated.

♤ Further, it protects individuals from arbitrary executive action only, not from arbitrary legislative action.

♤ The state is not constitutionally bound to pay any compensation in case of acquisition.
