The Court treated the measure's compulsory taking of property and provision for compensation as showing acquisition rather than mere enforcement of original grant rights. It further held that Article 31-A protected the law from challenge based on inadequate compensation, absence of public purpose and discrimination, where the relevant tenures fell within the broad protected category of jagir, estates or similar grants.
