Originally, the Right to Property was a Fundamental Right under Article 31 of the Indian Constitution. However, it was later removed from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1978. This amendment deleted Article 31 and introduced Article 300A under Part XII, making the Right to Property a legal right instead of a Fundamental Right.
As a result, citizens can no longer directly approach the Supreme Court under Article 32 for its violation. Instead, they can seek remedy in a High Court under Article 226. While the Right to Property is still protected, it is no longer given the same constitutional importance as other Fundamental Rights like the Right to Equality or Right to Freedom.
