The Karnataka Village Defence Parties (Repeal) Act, 2004

The Karnataka Village Defence Parties (Repeal) Act, 2004

This Karnataka state law officially abolishes the Karnataka Village Defence Parties Act of 1964, which previously governed village defense groups. By repealing the older legislation, the state removes the legal framework that established these local defense units. However, the law ensures that any actions, rights, or obligations already created under the 1964 Act before this repeal remain valid and enforceable. This change effectively ends the statutory authority for the village defense parties while protecting existing legal situations from being disrupted by the law's passage.
