The Bombay Agricultural Pests and Diseases (Gujarat Extension and Amendment) Act, 1962

General196211 sections

This law amends the Bombay Agricultural Pests and Diseases Act of 1947 to extend its application to the entire state of Gujarat. It empowers the state government to appoint a start date and issue notifications to control agricultural pests and diseases. The amendments allow authorities to prohibit the planting of specific crops in certain areas for a set period and impose penalties, including fines of up to fifty rupees or imprisonment, for violations. Crucially, the Act makes government orders final and conclusive, preventing them from being challenged in court, while also allowing the state legislature to modify rules laid before it.
