Headnote
SUPREME COURT REPORTS 709 " The Crown cannot deprive a legislature of its r960 legislative authority by the mere fact that in the n k exercise of its prerogative it makes a grant of land Manmo~a:' Deo within tho territory over which such legislative autho- v: rity exists and no court can within the com- petence of a provincial legislature, nothing can prevent that legislature from legislating about it, unless the Constitution Act itself expressly prohibits legislation on the subject either absolutely or conditionally." For the reasons given above, we hold that none of the
Judgments are the courts' own published copies, provided for study; they are not certified copies. Source: Indian Supreme Court & High Court Judgments, Dattam Labs (CC-BY-4.0)
