General19663 sections
This law extends the Indian Majority Act of 1875 to the Union Territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu. It ensures that the rules regarding the age of majority apply in this region, meaning individuals reach full legal adulthood at the same age as the rest of India. The Act also removes a three-month delay in the original law's enforcement to make it effective immediately upon passing. Finally, it repeals any existing local laws in the territory that conflict with this extension, standardizing the legal framework for adulthood in the area.
