The Goa, Daman and Diu Judicial Commissioner's Court (Declaration as High Court) Act, 1964
This Act designates the Judicial Commissioner's Court of Goa, Daman and Diu as a High Court to facilitate appeals to the Supreme Court of India. Applying to residents and litigants in these territories, it regulates the transition of the local judiciary into India's legal framework after integration. The law matters because it ensures that judgments, including those from single judges or the former Portuguese court, can be appealed to India's highest court. By modifying constitutional provisions to suit the territory, the Act safeguards citizens' access to justice and aligns the region's judicial administration with the rest of the Indian nation.
