Rehabilitation was construed broadly to include amenities needed for effective resettlement, not merely shelter, so a proposed hospital for crippled children could fall within the same public purpose when linked to displaced persons and their families. The text also states that compensation was tied to market value on the Section 4 notification date, with a special limitation for such acquisitions, and that interested persons cannot readily rely on internal correspondence to displace the notified public purpose. en-us Thu, 13 Feb 1986 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 11:27:10 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173049 Under the West Bengal Land Development and Planning Act, 1948, settlement of immigrants and displaced persons was treated as a public purpose, and "settlement" and "re-settlement" were regarded as materially equivalent in that context.
