The Goa, Daman and Diu Judicial Officers’ Protection Act, 1965 shields judges, magistrates, collectors, and other individuals performing judicial duties from civil lawsuits regarding acts performed in the line of duty. It applies to judicial officers and court staff responsible for executing legal warrants or orders within the territory. Under this law, protected individuals cannot be sued in civil court for their official decisions, provided they acted in good faith believing they had the proper jurisdiction. This law matters because it enables judicial personnel and officers to perform their duties independently and fearlessly without risk of personal civil liability.
