https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287831 Section 4(h) of the Bihar Land Reforms Act, 1950 was treated as an ancillary part of the land reform scheme, designed to prevent transfers made in anticipation of the Act and to support acquisition or extinction of estate rights; it was therefore held protected by Article 31A and immune from challenge under Articles 14, 19 and 31. The 1959 amendment inserting a second proviso requiring State Government confirmation was construed as prospective only, because the text did not clearly give it retrospective effect and a retrospective reading would create inconsistency and redundancy. A plea that the Collector had not complied with inquiry and sanction requirements could not be raised for the first time in appeal, as it had not been specifically pleaded or argued earlier. en-us Wed, 03 May 1961 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 05 May 2020 12:11:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287831 Section 4(h) of the Bihar Land Reforms Act, 1950 was treated as an ancillary part of the land reform scheme, designed to prevent transfers made in anticipation of the Act and to support acquisition or extinction of estate rights; it was therefore held protected by Article 31A and immune from challenge under Articles 14, 19 and 31.
