The Probation of Offenders (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1964

Criminal19643 sections

This law amends the Probation of Offenders Act to apply specifically to the state of Gujarat. It redefines the City of Ahmedabad as a legal district and appoints the Chief Magistrate as the District Magistrate. Additionally, it repeals the older Bombay Probation of Offenders Act, 1938 in the Bombay, Saurashtra, and Kutch areas of Gujarat, replacing it with the 1958 Act. The changes ensure that previous legal proceedings, rights, and penalties remain valid, effectively modernizing the legal framework for probation and offender management in these specific regions of the state.
