STATE OF MYSORE & ANR. vs D. ACHIAH CHETTY ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the Bangalore Acquisition of Lands (Validation) Act, 1962, affirming its constitutionality under Article 14 by validating past acquisitions made under the Mysore Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court ruled that the legislature's power to enact retrospective laws is complete within constitutional limits, and the Validating Act effectively supersedes the City of Bangalore Improvement Act. The Court dismissed the respondents' claims of discrimination and procedural unconstitutionality, holding that the Validating Act's provisions are valid and enforceable.
