In most common parlance property means as proprietary ship over the objects and it also describes all those things and ownership upon which can be created by the human beings and in broadest possible sense it included living as well as non-living things in it. Property has been given various meanings in different regions of the world but one concept which is universally associated with the idea of property is that it What belongs to a person and what he desires his descendants to inherit and carry forward as his legacy.
