https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=177018 A transferee or beneficiary of requisitioned premises is not a "person interested" under Section 2(d) of the West Bengal Premises Requisition and Control Act, 1947, because the definition is exhaustive and confined to those claiming an interest in the compensation payable for requisition. The statutory scheme assigns compensation fixation, arbitration, nomination of assessors, and receipt of the award only to the State and the person entitled to compensation, such as the owner or other rightful claimant. The Supreme Court distinguished the broader definition under the Land Acquisition Act and held that precedents under that Act cannot expand a definition framed with the word "means". The transferee therefore has no locus to participate in the compensation process or appeal against the arbitrator's award. en-us Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 17:33:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=177018 A transferee or beneficiary of requisitioned premises is not a "person interested" under Section 2(d) of the West Bengal Premises Requisition and Control Act, 1947, because the definition is exhaustive and confined to those claiming an interest in the compensation payable for requisition.
