https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184668 Section 4 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, fixing fair rent by reference to pre-1939 rent levels with specified increases, was upheld against challenge under Articles 14 and 19(1)(g). The Court held that rent-fixation policy must be assessed in the context of the State legislature's chosen scheme and objectives, and a provision is not invalid merely because other States adopt different methods. In the absence of demonstrable arbitrariness or unreasonableness, the historical base for fair rent did not by itself render the provision unconstitutional. en-us Tue, 01 Dec 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 18:21:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184668 Section 4 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, fixing fair rent by reference to pre-1939 rent levels with specified increases, was upheld against challenge under Articles 14 and 19(1)(g).
