https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289303 Requisition of premises for use as living accommodation for an officer of a Road Transport Corporation was treated as a public purpose under the Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948. The Court reasoned that the Corporation served a public interest, functioned under effective State control, and had statutory powers to provide suitable service conditions and acquire property necessary for its work. Housing an officer needed for its operations was directly connected with the efficient discharge of its public functions, and public purpose was not limited to land for use by the public at large. The requisition was therefore valid. en-us Tue, 17 Jan 1956 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 24 Jul 2020 14:04:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289303 Requisition of premises for use as living accommodation for an officer of a Road Transport Corporation was treated as a public purpose under the Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948.
