No Transfer Of Immovable Property Via Affidavit: Allahabad HC Imposes ₹10 Lakh Cost On Catholic Diocese, State For Deprivation Of Land For 32 Yrs

The Allahabad High Court ruled on a case concerning the transfer of immovable property under the now-repealed Urban Land Ceiling Act. The court stated that applications for property transfers made under this Act must be scrutinized, even after its repeal, if disputes arise. The case revolved around a land transfer that was challenged for not complying with statutory requirements. The ruling reaffirms that past laws can still influence present-day property disputes if they pertain to legal procedures initiated while the law was in effect.
