Supreme Court on Property Laws in India – Overview

The Supreme Court of India plays a pivotal role in interpreting and enforcing property laws, shaping the legal framework through landmark judgments. Property laws in India are governed by various statutes such as the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, Indian Succession Act, 1925, Hindu Succession Act, 1956, Registration Act, 1908, Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988, and others.

The Court has delivered several landmark rulings on key issues including:

  • Right to Property (Article 300A): While the right to property is no longer a fundamental right (after the 44th Constitutional Amendment), the Supreme Court ensures it remains a constitutional legal right, protecting citizens from arbitrary deprivation.

  • Inheritance and Succession: The Court has clarified equal rights for daughters in ancestral property (e.g., Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma, 2020), ensuring gender equality under the Hindu Succession Act.

  • Adverse Possession: It has defined the legal principles regarding claims of ownership based on adverse possession and the need for open, hostile, and continuous possession.

  • Land Acquisition: The Court has ruled on various aspects of compulsory acquisition by the state, emphasizing fair compensation, public purpose, and due process, notably under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Act, 2013.

  • Benami Property: The apex court has upheld the constitutional validity of anti-benami laws and supported the state’s right to confiscate properties held in others’ names to curb black money.

The Supreme Court continues to guide the evolution of property rights in India, balancing individual ownership rights with public interest, and resolving complex disputes through judicial interpretation.
