Benami property law: Section 16 removed, eliminating explicit protection against invalidation for vacancies, defective appointments, or minor procedural irregularities. Section 16 of the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988 has been omitted; it formerly provided that no act or proceeding of the Adjudicating Authority would be invalid merely due to a vacancy or defect in its constitution, a defect in the appointment of a Member, or an irregularity in procedure not affecting the merits, and its deletion removes that explicit statutory protection.
