How is it determined if a property is vested in a State or the Union under Article 296?
It is determined if a property is vested in a State or the Union under Article 296 based on its location. If the property is situate in a State, it will vest in that State. In any other case, it will vest in the Union. However, properties in possession or under control of the Government of India or the Government of a State at the date when they would have accrued to His Majesty or to the Ruler of an Indian State are considered according to their purposes (Union or State).
