State of Bombay – Respondent
Chagla, C.J.
1. A petn. was presented before Tendolkar J. by one Heman Santlal Alreja alleging that he was a sub-tenant of certain premises that Govt. on 29-5-1950, had issued an order under Section 6 (4) (a), Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948, requisitioning the premises of which he was a sub-tenant, that the order passed by Govt. was void because according to him Section 6 (4) (a) of the Act was void as contravening the provisions of the Constitution. As the question raised was of considerable importance as several other petns. were pending before Tondolkar J. which raised the same question, Tendolker J. refd. the matter to a D.

This is particularly so when we are dealing with our Constitution which is a new enactment which always raises questions
