Bare Act

The Code of Criminal Procedure (Goa, Daman and Diu Amendment) Act, 1986

This legislation regulates criminal investigation procedures and the administration of evacuee property in Goa. It requires magistrates to notify and hear both the state's public prosecutor and the regional police superintendent before directing any official police investigation under criminal law. Additionally, the rules mandate that the legal custodian of evacuee property must be a qualified lawyer with at least three years of professional experience. Applying to Goa's judiciary, police, prosecutors, and property administrators, this law matters because it prevents arbitrary judicial orders, protects citizens from groundless investigations, and ensures qualified professionals manage disputed local assets.
