Part XII · 3[CHAPTER IV.—RIGHT TO PROPERTY
Article 300A Persons not to be deprived of property save by authority of law.
This article protects property. No person shall be deprived of property save by authority of law. The 44th Amendment inserted it in 1978 after the old property right was removed from the fundamental rights. Property is now a constitutional right, not a fundamental one. Deprivation needs a law behind it.
- No person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law.
