Till the 44th amendment (1978) of the Indian Constitution, the Right to Property under Article 31 was considered a Fundamental Right.  After the 44th amendment, article 31 was completely removed from Part III – Fundamental Rights of the Constitution. As the Government could not go ahead with public infrastructure projects and reforms people started approaching the courts to prevent the acquisition of private property, so the government has amended to remove this article from fundamental rights. The property right is now added as a legal right in article 300 A.
