General19806 sections

This legislation extends the central Indian law governing powers of attorney, the Powers of Attorney Act of 1882, to the Union territory of Goa, Daman and Diu. It applies to individuals, legal representatives, and administrative bodies operating within the region who execute or rely on legal instruments authorizing one person to act on behalf of another. By bringing the central act into force locally, it repeals prior corresponding local laws while safeguarding existing rights, liabilities, and ongoing legal proceedings. It also adapts key administrative and judicial references in the central law to align with the territory's legal infrastructure.
