https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=66022 Under the Jammu & Kashmir Requisition and Acquisition of Immovable Property Act, 1968, compensation for requisitioned property acquired for public purpose was held to be governed by the statute's own code in Sections 7 and 8. Because the Act did not expressly provide for solatium or interest, and deliberately omitted provisions comparable to Sections 23(2), 28 and 34 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, such additions could not be granted on equitable grounds. The Court also treated the earlier precedent under the corresponding Central Act as binding and rejected the challenge based on Article 14 and alleged unjust enrichment. The compensation was upheld, but solatium and interest were disallowed. en-us Wed, 21 Aug 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 17:08:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=66022 Under the Jammu & Kashmir Requisition and Acquisition of Immovable Property Act, 1968, compensation for requisitioned property acquired for public purpose was held to be governed by the statute's own code in Sections 7 and 8.
