Constitution of India Art. 19, which establishes a number of fundamental freedoms, originally contained a right to "acquire, hold, and dispose of property." This provision was removed by a 1979 amendment which also removed the Art. 31 right to compensation for expropriation. Tope, at 261. These provisions were replaced by Art. 300A, discussed at right. See Tope, at 261-80. Art. 31A further expands the power of the state to appropriate property for social welfare purposes. See Tope, at 218-89. Art. 300A prohibits deprivation of property except "by authority of law," as a general constitutional right and not a fundamental right. For a detailed analysis see Tope, at 266-80. Art. 300A was added in 1979, when Art. 19(1)(f) and Art. 31, which had created property rights, were repealed. For the history of property rights in India, see Allen, at 43-54.
