The Gujarat Separation of Judicial and Executive Functions Act, 1951

General195175 sections

This legislation restructures the administration of criminal justice in the region by strictly dividing powers between judicial magistrates and executive magistrates. It amends the Code of Criminal Procedure along with several related state and central laws to ensure that officers conducting criminal trials operate independently under the supervision of the High Court, rather than under executive government control. Meanwhile, executive magistrates retain administrative powers related to maintaining public order, peace, and police oversight. The statute applies to all law enforcement, judicial officers, and individuals undergoing legal proceedings, establishing a fair legal system that protects citizens' rights by preventing executive interference in court judgments.
