The Evolution of Right to Property-Exploring Pre and Post Constitutional Status

Author(s) M. Meenakshi
Country India
Abstract Property rights have been a foundational aspect of societal organization and economic development throughout history. This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nuanced journey that the right to property has undertaken in India, traversing through various epochs, socio-political climates, and legislative changes. Commencing with the pre-colonial era, the research navigates through the rich tapestry of ancient Indian legal systems, where property rights held a central position in the social order and were often influenced by cultural and religious norms. With the onset of colonial rule, the dynamics of property rights underwent significant transformations. The British administration introduced new concepts and property laws that aimed to reconfigure the established property relations to suit their economic interests and administrative convenience.
The post-independence period witnessed substantial debates and deliberations over the nature and scope of property rights. The Constitution of India, enshrining the fundamental rights of its citizens, initially recognized the right to property as a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31. However, the evolution of this right took a pivotal turn with the insertion of the 44th Amendment in 1978, which shifted the right to property from a fundamental right to a legal right, thereby empowering the state to undertake land reform measures and redistribution of property. Through an intricate examination of significant legal cases, constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, and scholarly discourse, this project dissects the multifaceted dimensions of the right to property. It delves into the dichotomy between individual rights and societal interests, highlighting instances where property rights have clashed with developmental imperatives, land reforms, and the goal of achieving socio-economic equity. Furthermore, the research investigates the impact of property rights on economic growth, social justice, and the intricate interplay between property ownership and access to resources. It probes the question of whether property rights have fostered economic advancement or resulted in unjust concentration of wealth. In summation, this article aims to construct a comprehensive historical narrative of the right to property in India, unravelling its transformation from ancient civilizations to colonial rule and finally to the contemporary legal frameworks. By engaging with the intricacies of property rights, the project seeks to shed light on the trajectory of legal thought, policy changes, and socio-economic implications, thereby contributing to a nuanced understanding of the right to property within the broader context of India's legal history.
