The religious-worship objection also failed since the land was found to be vacant and mere dedication was insufficient to attract the statutory protection. The West Bengal Land (Requisition and Acquisition) Act, 1948 was upheld as constitutional: compulsory requisition causing substantial deprivation of property fell within Article 31 rather than Article 19(1)(f), and the absence of fuller procedural safeguards did not invalidate Section 3(1). Proper notice to the deity was nevertheless required before further proceedings. en-us Mon, 25 Aug 1958 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 23 Jul 2020 11:25:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289260 Requisition of land for a State sewerage scheme was treated as outside Section 98 of the Bengal Municipal Act, 1932, because the acquisition was by the Government through the Public Health Department and not a municipal request.
