In a landmark ruling, India's Supreme Court declared, "Government can't take over all privately owned properties as community resources for the common good." The nine-judge bench, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, delivered an 8-1 majority verdict concerning Article 31C of the Constitution, which relates to resource distribution policies. The Chief Justice emphasized that classifying resources must involve various factors, including their "impact on the well-being of the community." In a separate judgment, Justice BV Nagarathna expressed concerns about past judicial interpretations and highlighted the need to consider the evolving socio-economic landscape in contemporary rulings.
