Criminal19573 sections

This Act extends the provisions of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1932 to the territories that were previously part of the State of Patiala and East Punjab Union. It takes effect immediately following the state reorganization on November 1, 1956, ensuring that criminal laws previously applicable in Punjab also apply in these newly defined areas. By repealing the corresponding ordinance of 1957, the Act consolidates the legal framework, guaranteeing consistent application of criminal law amendments across the relevant regions without delay.
