https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170215 Section 10(3) of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 effects only de jure vesting of surplus land, not automatic de facto possession. Actual possession requires compliance with the separate statutory steps for surrender or delivery under Section 10(5), or forcible dispossession under Section 10(6) if surrender is not made. The Supreme Court's purposive reading treats vesting and possession as distinct stages, so the Repeal Act's saving clause continues to protect the land unless the State can prove that possession was lawfully taken before repeal. Without proof of voluntary surrender or valid dispossession, the benefit of Section 3 of the Repeal Act is preserved. en-us Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 20 May 2015 12:35:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170215 Section 10(3) of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 effects only de jure vesting of surplus land, not automatic de facto possession.
