https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=456637 Section 352 of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation Act, 1980 was read as a land-identification provision for public streets and related amenities, not as a standalone source of compulsory acquisition power; the acquisition power instead lies in the Act's separate acquisition chapter, including Section 537. Article 300A requires more than compensation for lawful deprivation of property: notice, opportunity to object, reasoned decision, public purpose, fair compensation, and an effective acquisition process. Section 363 was treated only as a compensation clause linked to acquisition by agreement, so it could not cure the absence of compulsory-acquisition safeguards or validate acquisition under Section 352. en-us Thu, 16 May 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:25:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=456637 Section 352 of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation Act, 1980 was read as a land-identification provision for public streets and related amenities, not as a standalone source of compulsory acquisition power; the acquisition power instead lies in the Act's separate acquisition chapter, including Section 537.
