Rights:-

Individuals’ positions in a state can only be defined by their rights. Individual rights are required for a person’s personal, social, economic, political, mental, and moral development. They are vital not only for man’s development but also for the development of society and social worth. A right is an individual’s claim as well as a political and societal acknowledgment. Rights have a moral character and are intertwined with responsibilities. One’s right implies one’s or another’s responsibility. Rights should be used for the greater interest of society. Moral Rights, Legal Rights, Civil Rights, Political Rights, Economic Rights, and Human Rights are the main categories of rights.

Human Rights:-

Human rights are defined as the rights that every person has the right to enjoy and have safeguarded. Some of the rights and concepts are universal by definition. Natural Rights gave birth to the concept of human rights. Human rights are a subset of traditional natural rights. Human rights do not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, or language. Fundamental rights are another name for human rights. Peace, progress, and humanitarianism are all linked to human rights. The welfare and advancement of an individual are the goals of rights.

Definition:-

Human Rights are defined as “rights relating to life, equality, and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the Constitution or enshrined in an international covenant and enforceable by Indian courts,” according to Section 2(d) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.

History Of Human Rights:-

The concept of human rights has a long and illustrious history. Religions and cultures have fought for rights and fairness throughout history. One of the UN’s founding treaties lists reaffirming faith in fundamental human rights as one of its goals. The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The basis for present international human rights law is contained in this paper, which was drafted by an international group chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt. Human rights law is continually changing, as are our perceptions and definitions of what constitutes basic human rights.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations in 1948. It is a document that discusses basic human rights, which are rights that everyone has just because they are human. There were several issues before 1948, when there were no human rights, such as –

1. War/ Conflict

2. Violence

3. Discrimination and Racism

4. Arbitrary Arrest

5. Dictatorship, I.e., Absence of Democracy

Human Rights were created to address all of these issues. The right to life, the right to freedom, the right to justice, and the right to equality are all examples of human rights. Regardless of their differences, all humans are equal. Right to health care, right to marry and start a family, right to an education, right to work or find work, right to a home or shelter, right to freedom of expression, right to select religion, right to own property, and right to vote These are only a few of the fundamental rights that every person in the world has from birth to death. They can never be taken away from you, yet they can be limited at times.

Important Concept Of Human Rights:-

MAGNA CARTA – It is often referred to as the Great Charter. On the 15th of June, 1215, King John of England signed a charter of rights. It aimed to bring unpopular kings and a group of people together in harmony. It further said that church rights will be protected.

THE VIRGINIA DECLARATION, 1776 – The number of fundamental rights as specified in this proclamation. It also said that all men are born equal in terms of freedom and independence, as well as having some inherent rights.

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, 1948 – It was adopted by United Nations General Assembly. It is a document that sets out for the first time, Fundamental Human Rights to be universally protected. 

INTERNATIONAL COVENANTS, 1966 – The United Nations General Assembly adopted two covenants on 16 December 1966 

1. The international covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) 

2. International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) 

INTERNATIONAL BILL OF RIGHTS – The International Bill of Rights is made up of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and two optional protocols.

Characteristics Of Human Rights:-

  • Human Rights are vital and necessary. 
  • Human Rights are inalienable.
  • Human Rights are associated with human dignity.
  • Human rights are unalienable.
  • Human Rights are required for the fulfilment of life’s purpose.
  • HUMAN RIGHTS ARE INHERENT IN ALL HUMAN BEINGS
  • Human rights are unalienable.
  • Human rights are in constant flux.

Human Rights Day:-

Every year on December 10th, Human Rights Day is commemorated around the world. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on this day in 1948. (UDHR).

The day celebrates the fundamental human rights that everyone has by birth, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other beliefs, national or social origin, property, birth, or other position. They attempt to engage the general public with the UN Human Rights generalist call to action “Stand Up for Human Rights.”

Objectives Of Human Rights:-

The goal of Human Rights is to provide people a sense of security. To cultivate each person’s identity, self-esteem, and respect for the human dignity of all individuals. The basic goal of granting people fundamental rights is to foster diversity respect, understanding, and appreciation. It also aspires to promote democracy, social justice, and equality.

Introduction:-

Bitcoin is very similar to real estate transfers in that it covers almost all aspects. The transactional characteristics, such as the Buyer and Seller, the price to be paid as “consideration,” and the endorsements, are strikingly similar. But it’s worth noting that Bitcoins are scarce, and they’re not particularly valuable. However, much like any other real estate transaction, Bitcoin transactions have public records. The Bitcoin Database is a public record that keeps track of all Bitcoin transactions. Anyone with access to a computer can see any Bitcoin transaction, just like when you go to the Registrar’s office to find out about title deeds. However, unlike property, where the government imposes a stamp duty to give credence to the validity of the transfer, there is no governmental monitoring or cooperation with the operations.

Bitcoin As ‘Property’ Or ‘Goods’:-

At the very basic level, what becomes the foundation for Bitcoin are the computer codes, thus, Bitcoin does not exist in physical/tangible form. Hence, the question that pops up is to regulate the Bitcoin transaction, could be deemed to be Movable property under the laws?

It is important to note that the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, is the main statute that governs the property elements. However, while this Act covers characteristics of moveable property, it does not define what constitutes movable property, which is crucial to determine if Bitcoin falls under its scope. The term “movable property” is defined in the General Clauses Act of 1897, and it is taken from there for all purposes. Movable property is defined in Section 3(36) of the Act as:

 “Movable property” shall mean property of every description, except immovable property.”

The scope of this term is quite broad, and it includes intangible properties as well. It is important to note that the term “goods” is defined as follows in Section 2(7) of the Sales of Goods Act 1930:

“Goods means every kind of movable property, other than actionable claims and money; and includes stock and shares, growing crops, grass, and things attached to or forming part of the land which are agreed to be severed before sale or under the contract of sale”.

As a result, Bitcoins might be considered goods because they are transportable property. However, the judiciary has not put much effort into determining whether the intangible property also applies in the virtual sphere.

Tata Consultancy Services v. State of Andhra Pradesh:-

However, in the case of Tata Consultancy Services v. State of Andhra Pradesh, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has opined that –

There is no distinction between tangible and intangible property in Indian law. A ‘goods’ might be either a tangible or intangible asset. It would be considered goods if it exhibited the following characteristics: (a) utility; (b) ability to be purchased and sold; and (c) ability to be transported, transferred, delivered, stored, and possessed. If a piece of software, whether customized or not, fits these criteria, it is considered good.

Given the current legal structure around the intangible property, it is possible to conclude that Bitcoin fits within this category.

American Law For The Property:-

Three tests are mandated in the American legal system for determining the existence of a property right, which are reprinted below:

  1. There is a specific definition of an interest;
  2. It is capable of exclusive possession or control; and 
  3. The putative owner has demonstrated a valid claim to exclusivity.

To begin with, the individual who buys Bitcoin has a valid stake in it, and the value of that interest can be assessed in terms of the country’s currency. Second, there is no doubt that the individual who purchases Bitcoins has exclusive control of them. It’s similar to real estate, where a person holding the title deeds can only deal with that property; similarly, there are credentials in Bitcoin. Finally, but certainly not least, a person has a legitimate claim to it because when Bitcoin is transacted, it is recorded in the network’s chain of transactions, which eliminates the possibility of a fraudulent transfer. 

Thus, it could be said under that the American Legal System, there is recognition of Bitcoin as intangible property.  

Bitcoin As ‘Commodity’:-

When Bitcoins are classified as intangible property, it’s important to determine if they also meet the criteria of a commodity. Similarly, the transportable property, or commodity, is not defined, and there is no legal precedent on the subject. However, according to the dictionary, it refers to “every moveable thing that is purchased and sold (excluding animals), a commodity of trade, and a movable article of value or something that provides ease or advantage, especially in commerce.”

In the matter of Tata Consultancy (Supra), Justice Sinha stated that the term “commodity” refers to commodities of any sort, as well as something useful or a commercial item.

As a result, Bitcoins fall under the definition of a commodity, as well as intangible property, under Indian law.

Crypto-Currencies As ‘Asset’:-

While Bitcoin transactions are still unregulated, the income and gains generated by Bitcoin transactions have been taxed by the taxing authorities. As a corollary, they might be considered an asset because they are taxed.

As a result, it could be claimed that the government is gradually moving toward regulating Bitcoin transactions.

Conclusion:-

There has been a steady increase in Bitcoin investment across India and the rest of the world. These investments’ fate is inextricably linked to the fate of Bitcoins. As a result, it is vital to preach on the Legal Aspects of Bitcoins and their Regulation. Based on the foregoing legal position and authorities, it may be determined that it is most appropriate for intangible property and commodities. However, before any judicial pronouncements by a court of law, the very minimum might be said.
