💨 Abstract

In a 7:2 Supreme Court ruling, private properties cannot form part of the "material resources of the community" enabling states to take them over for public good. The judgement clarified the interpretation of Articles 31C and 39(b) of the Constitution regarding individual rights against state control of resources. The ruling has implications for Maharashtra, where aging buildings pose safety hazards.
