https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182051 Land acquired for labour quarters under a Government-sponsored housing scheme was treated as acquisition for a public purpose, not a company acquisition simpliciter, because a substantial part of the compensation was to be borne from public funds. On that footing, compliance with Part VII of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was not required, and the absence of such compliance did not invalidate the acquisition proceedings. The statutory treatment of labour colonies as works of public utility reinforced that conclusion. The challenge to the acquisition therefore failed. en-us Wed, 16 Nov 1960 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:12:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182051 Land acquired for labour quarters under a Government-sponsored housing scheme was treated as acquisition for a public purpose, not a company acquisition simpliciter, because a substantial part of the compensation was to be borne from public funds.
