• It is defined as the area of land owned by private citizen or
industries where public access is generally restricted.
• Land which is not under public control and is the possession of a
person or a group of people.
• Private ownership is also known as private property.
• A citizen’s right to own private property is a human right. The
state cannot take possession of it without following due procedure
and authority of law, the Supreme Court has held in a judgment.

3. Rights after the Private Ownership
• Right of Control: In right to control those who own any given
asset have the right to control how that asset is used. Theoretically,

assumes that most people will act in their own self-interest.

• Right of Transfer Ownership: A person who owns private
property has the right to sell, give or otherwise divest that property
to others. For example, if someone in a capitalist society owns a
bakery, the owner has the right to get out of the bakery business,
sell the building, ovens and other assets to someone else and uses
the money from the sale at wealth.
