Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the constitutional validity of the Rajasthan Urban Lands Tax Act, 1964, as amended by Act No. 15 of 1973, which sought to levy tax on both lands and buildings. The Court held that amendments made to correct legislative flaws do not render the entire legislation 'still-born' or unenforceable. The Court affirmed that the original Act and subsequent amendments remain valid and enforceable, thus upholding the tax provisions as constitutional.
