What this means

  • The index files it under the chapter heading “Chapter TWENTY: ONE”.
  • The passage runs to about 92 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions property — it addresses property, possession, or taking property compulsorily (the words used: “Property”).

The index holds no article number for this record. Cite the passage itself rather than a section number.

This index row contains 13 separately numbered sections, so it is a chapter-length passage rather than one provision. Cite the passage, and treat any single section number as unverified.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
