The Goa Laws (Amendment) Act, 2021

General20213 of 2 sections available

This Act updates the short titles of numerous laws by removing references to Daman and Diu from their official designations, streamlining legal nomenclature following administrative consolidation of territories. It applies directly to the specific enactments detailed in the accompanying Schedule, coming into force immediately upon commencement. The change matters because clear, standardized legal terminology prevents confusion when interpreting provisions, ensuring statutory references align with current jurisdictional boundaries after restructuring. This administrative correction facilitates the consistent application and interpretation of laws across affected regions by updating official documentation without altering substantive legal content.
