https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299698 Acquisition of land for a co-operative housing society is treated as public purpose only where prior government approval of the housing scheme exists, and that approval operates as a condition precedent. Where the process was driven by intermediaries, involved payments to agents, and lacked meaningful control over allotment or construction, the acquisition was characterised as a colourable exercise of power and legally mala fide, rendering the notifications invalid. In a distinct factual setting, where no agreement with an agent or contractor to procure acquisition was shown, the matter was treated differently and relief was granted on that basis. en-us Tue, 21 Feb 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 25 Dec 2021 12:18:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299698 Acquisition of land for a co-operative housing society is treated as public purpose only where prior government approval of the housing scheme exists, and that approval operates as a condition precedent.
