Is private property within Art 39(b) ambit? Supreme Court to give verdict today

The Supreme Court is set to deliver verdicts on two significant cases. One concerns the interpretation of Article 39(b), specifically whether the state’s power to distribute resources for common good applies to private resources. The other case involves the Allahabad High Court’s order to shut down madrassas deemed ‘non-secular’, a decision challenged by madrassas and the Uttar Pradesh government itself.
