https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187816 Section 4(3) of the Acquisition of Certain Area at Ayodhya Act, 1993, which abated pending suits and legal proceedings without providing an effective substitute for adjudication, was unconstitutional and severed from the Act. The acquisition and management scheme in Sections 3, 6 and 7 was upheld as a valid acquisition measure within legislative competence; the disputed area was treated as subject to limited statutory control pending final adjudication, while the adjacent area vested absolutely. The Court held that acquisition of a place of worship is not barred per se by Articles 25 and 26, and a mosque has no special constitutional immunity from acquisition. The Presidential Reference under Article 143(1) was found unnecessary after revival of the suits and was returned unanswered. en-us Mon, 24 Oct 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:33:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187816 Section 4(3) of the Acquisition of Certain Area at Ayodhya Act, 1993, which abated pending suits and legal proceedings without providing an effective substitute for adjudication, was unconstitutional and severed from the Act.
