Questions about Section 354

What does Section 354 of the Cantonments Act deal with?

Section 354 of the Cantonments Act is headed "Registration". Paragraphs 2 and 3 of section 54, and section 59, 107 and 123 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (4 of 1882), with respect to the transfer of property by registered instrument, shall, on and from the commencement of this Act, extend to every cantonment.

How do I find court cases under Section 354 of the Cantonments Act?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Cantonments Act 2006 354, section 354 Cantonments Act 2006, section 354 of the Cantonments Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.

What should I read with Section 354 of the Cantonments Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 54 (Power to require execution of work, etc), Transfer of Property Act 59 (Mortgage when to be by assurance), Transfer of Property Act 107 (leases how made), Transfer of Property Act 123 (Transfer how effected), so none of them can safely be read on its own. One instrument names it without being made under it, most recently The Cantonment Land Administration Rules 2021 (2021).
