The Goa General Clauses Act, 1965

General19653 sections

This law ensures that the General Clauses Act of 1897, which provides standard rules for interpreting laws, also applies to laws passed by the Legislative Assembly of Goa, Daman, and Diu. By adopting these standard rules, the Act helps clarify the meaning of local legislation and ordinances, ensuring consistency and preventing confusion in how these regional laws are understood and enforced. It effectively bridges the gap between central legal interpretation standards and the specific laws governing this union territory.
