Part, 'part' does not necessarily mean a substantial part and that it will be open to the court in every case which comes up before it to examine whether the contribution made by the State satisfies the requirement of the law; Somawanti v. State of Punjab, AIR 1963 SC 151 (169). [Land Acquistion Act, 1894, s. 6(1) Proviso]The word 'part' must mean an appreciable amount and not an insignificant one. The 'part' in other words, must be substantial part. What is substantial would depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case, Municipal Corporation of Delhi v.

Part of a building, the interpretation put by the Kerala High Court on s. 2(1) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965 for holding that the words 'part of a building' mean the land on which the building has been constructed is not correct. The provisions of the State Rent Act clearly show that the State Rent Act is a self-contained Act and the rights and liabilities of landlord and tenant are determined by the provisions contained therein and not by the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act or any other law. The rights of a landlord under the general law are substantially curtailed by the provisions of the State Rent Act as the Act is designed to confer benefit on tenants by providing accommodation and to protect them from unreasonable eviction, Vannattankandy Ibrayi v. Kunhabdulla Hajee, (2001) 1 SCC 564 (576)....
