https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174512 A special acquisition statute is not unconstitutional under Article 14 if it provides notice, hearing, objection, vesting, market-value compensation, interest on delay, and appellate remedies; the absence of a Land Acquisition Act-style reference mechanism does not by itself make the law unreasonable, and the Act was upheld in substance. However, the instalment-payment feature in section 11(1) was held unfair and unreasonable because compensation for compulsorily acquired land must be available immediately, so that portion was severed and struck down while lump-sum payment was preserved. Chapter VI of the Slum Clearance Act was also sustained despite no solatium, and acquisition for the special purpose had to proceed under the special law, not the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. en-us Tue, 22 Nov 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 12:04:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174512 A special acquisition statute is not unconstitutional under Article 14 if it provides notice, hearing, objection, vesting, market-value compensation, interest on delay, and appellate remedies; the absence of a Land Acquisition Act-style reference mechanism does not by itself make the law unreasonable, and the Act was upheld in substance.
