https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=292812 The Bihar Tenancy (Amendment) Act, 1934 was treated as operating retrospectively in relation to a pending suit over a pre-1923 transfer of an occupancy holding. The amendment conferred transferability of occupancy holdings and included deeming provisions validating earlier transfers and later transfers on payment of a fee. Because these retrospective provisions were substantive and aimed at quieting title rather than regulating procedure, and because the Act contained no saving clause for pending litigation, no exception was implied for suits already on foot when the Act commenced. The result was that the new rights and deeming provisions applied according to their terms, defeating the challenge to the transfer. en-us Tue, 12 Nov 1935 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 17:40:39 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=292812 The Bihar Tenancy (Amendment) Act, 1934 was treated as operating retrospectively in relation to a pending suit over a pre-1923 transfer of an occupancy holding.
