Constitution Bench to deliver verdict on rights to private material wealth on November 5

The Supreme Court of India is set to deliver a verdict on whether resources created by individual labor belong to the community. The Chief Justice focused on Article 39(b) of the Constitution, questioning if privately-owned resources could be considered community resources. The Attorney General argued that resources created through human interaction are community resources. The debate included whether items like houses and cars are community resources. The reference to the Constitution Bench came from petitions arguing against the State taking over private properties under constitutional schemes. The lead plea dates back to 1992 and has been referred to larger Benches before reaching the nine-judge Bench.
