1 - 5 of 5 (0.29 seconds)Section 6 in Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948 [Entire Act]
The State Of Bombay vs Bhanji Munji And Another.October 12, ... on 21 October, 1954
One of the grounds on which the validity of the order
of requisition was challenged was that the order of
requisition did not set out the public purpose for which it
was made. This ground of challenge was negatived by the High
Court and, in our opinion, rightly, because it is not
necessary that the order of requisition must explicitly set
out the public purpose for which it is made. The only
requirement of the law is that the requisitioning must be
made for a public purpose and so long as there is a public
purpose for which an order of requisition is made, it would
be valid irrespective whether such public purpose is recited
in the order of requisition or not. It has, in fact, been so
held by this Court in State of Bombay v. Bhanji Munji & Anr.
