https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289847 Article 31A protected the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) (Second Amendment Validation) Act, 1960 because the reservation of land for village common purposes and its vesting in Panchayat management was treated as acquisition by the State or, at minimum, a modification of proprietary rights. The absence of compensation did not defeat constitutional protection where the transfer operated through a local authority within the constitutional concept of State. The validation Act was therefore upheld as authorising a lawful reservation and vesting mechanism consistent with related village common land legislation. en-us Thu, 18 Aug 1960 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 12:25:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289847 Article 31A protected the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) (Second Amendment Validation) Act, 1960 because the reservation of land for village common purposes and its vesting in Panchayat management was treated as acquisition by the State or, at minimum, a modification of proprietary rights.
