Can Government Take Over Private Property? Supreme Court Draws The Line

Not all privately owned properties qualify as community resources that the State can take over for the common good, that's what the Supreme Court has said in a landmark verdict on November 5.

Three judgments were authored -- the Chief Justice wrote one for himself and six colleagues, Justice BV Nagarathna wrote a concurrent but separate judgment and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia dissented. In today's show, we decoded this historic verdict. Watch the full show only on NDTV.
