https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173711 Acquisition of land for an aided private school was treated as serving a public purpose because education was described as a constitutional obligation of the State and a right of every child. A recognised private school operating within the statutory framework was viewed as part of the mechanism through which the State discharged that obligation. As the acquisition was intended to secure the school's continued functioning and the expenditure was to come from public funds, the acquisition was not characterised as a private benefit. The analysis concludes that the land acquisition was valid and that the quashing of the notification and declaration was incorrect. en-us Wed, 07 Aug 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 15:38:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173711 Acquisition of land for an aided private school was treated as serving a public purpose because education was described as a constitutional obligation of the State and a right of every child.
