8 "Property" as Interpreted by the Supreme Court of Nepal

यो उत्तर युनिट १ मा छ — पूरै निःशुल्क।

The Court's interpretive arc (the themes to command):

1. Breadth: "property" read functionally, not just physically — following the constitutional definition, the Court has treated shares, claims, and intellectual property as "property" within Article 25's protection (the Kiran Shoes era of IP-as-property, Unit 12);

2. Compensation discipline: acquisition without Act-based compensation procedure attracts the Court's scrutiny — the eminent-domain jurisprudence (Unit 5) policing the 25(3) condition;

3. The landless and informal rights: the Court navigating between paper title and lived possession (the likhat cases — unregistered transfers: Units 3 and 11) — recognizing enforceable obligations arising from unregistered deeds while withholding full property effect;

4. Gender equality in property: the line from the 11th-amendment era through the equal- rights decisions (daughters as coparceners by birth; the return-on-marriage condition struck down; wives' equal share in matrimonially-acquired property under the 2074 Code receiving the Court's rights-based reading) — the Court as property law's equalizer;

5. Public property's protection:ailani (unregistered government) land and encroachment cases — the state's ownership enforced against grabbers (the public-interest petition's home field);

6. Procedure as substance: the Court insisting on statutory procedure (notice, valuation, committee process) before acquisition and ceiling actions — property protection through administrative law.

(The same-surname pairs sit with the family-property units — 6–8; Kiran Shoes and Mount Bruary with the IP unit — 12; Adv. Om Prakash Aryal is a public- interest writ; the remainder concern state action affecting property.)
