Criminal19619 sections
This law amends the Bombay Village Police Act of 1867 to extend its application to the state of Gujarat, specifically covering Saurashtra and Kutch areas. It updates references to police laws, replacing older acts with the Bombay Police Act of 1951. The legislation modifies the powers of state governments and district magistrates to manage village police officers, known as Patels, and changes how their evidence is recorded. Finally, it repeals the Saurashtra Village Police Ordinance of 1949, consolidating these local police regulations under the amended act.
