These were: (i) Does Act XLVI of 1957 apply to the State of U.P. at all in view of the fact that Act 10 of 1952, which was a detailed and elaborate enactment, contained special provisions applicable to cantonments in this State? (ii) Did not the power of the Central Government under section 3 of Act XLVI of 1957 get exhausted when the notification dated 3rd April, 1972 was issued, by which the provisions of Act III of 1947 were extended to cantonments in U.P.? If yes, was not the second notification dated 1.9.1973 purporting to extend the provisions of Act 13 of 1972 to cantonments in U.P. illegal and non est? iii) Does not section 3 of Act XLVI of 1957 suffer from the vice of excessive delegation of legislative powers and PG NO 566 is it not consequently void and inoperative? Apart from these principal questions, it was pointed out by Shri Tandon (appearing for the petitioner in SLP No. 6944 of 1983) that, in his case, the landlord was trying to resort to provisions of Act 13 of 1972 as amended by Act 28 of 1976.
