The Bombay Landing and Wharfage Fees (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1967
This Act amends the Bombay Landing and Wharfage Fees Act to update financial regulations for ports in Gujarat. It changes the fee structure by replacing the old currency unit with a new one and removes a specific clause. The legislation grants officers stronger powers to enforce rules and collect fees, similar to those under the Indian Ports Act. It also introduces new rules for licensing and regulating the employment of port workers like clearing agents, porters, and hawkers. Finally, it establishes specific court jurisdictions for handling any violations of these new port regulations.
