Corporate19618 sections
This Act amends the Bombay Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act to strengthen enforcement in Gujarat. It empowers inspectors to enter and search any premises where trade occurs to ensure weights and measures are accurate. The legislation mandates that only standard units be used in commercial transactions and removes specific exemptions for bullion and precious stones. It also allows the state government to exempt certain packaging if compliance is impractical. Additionally, the Act introduces a provision for offenders to pay a fine to resolve criminal charges, effectively ending prosecution for the specific offence.
