https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=197702 The Bombay Town Planning Act, 1954 was upheld as a valid law within the State Legislature's competence because it concerned land, development planning and reconstitution of plots, which fell within the relevant constitutional legislative fields. The Act's scheme of development plans, town planning schemes, valuation, acquisition, compensation and contribution was treated as part of a structured planning framework. It was also held not to infringe Articles 14, 19 or 31, because the legislation provided detailed procedural safeguards, reasoned decision-making, objections and appeal mechanisms, and adequate standards for valuation and contribution. The levy of contribution was treated as a statutory charge toward the cost of the scheme, not an arbitrary exaction. en-us Thu, 02 Mar 1967 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 15:40:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=197702 The Bombay Town Planning Act, 1954 was upheld as a valid law within the State Legislature's competence because it concerned land, development planning and reconstitution of plots, which fell within the relevant constitutional legislative fields.
