https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=194972 The Punjab Cattle Fairs (Regulation) Act, 1967 was treated as valid despite an initial absence of definition for "cattle fair", because the later amendment cured the defect and the earlier High Court ruling did not render the statute nonexistent or create res judicata. The statute was upheld as a State monopoly only for cattle fairs, with restrictions on private conduct sustained as reasonable, but it did not extend to cattle markets. Its operation could not authorise use of private or municipal land, and declarations purporting to do so were invalid. Section 15, which required local authorities to deposit money in the Cattle Fair Fund, was also held invalid. en-us Thu, 30 Jan 1969 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 Oct 2017 16:15:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=194972 The Punjab Cattle Fairs (Regulation) Act, 1967 was treated as valid despite an initial absence of definition for "cattle fair", because the later amendment cured the defect and the earlier High Court ruling did not render the statute nonexistent or create res judicata.
