Bare Act

The Code of Criminal Procedure (Kerala Amendment) Act, 1987

This Act amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow the Kerala State Government to establish special courts of Judicial Magistrates of First Class for specific cases or areas. It validates notifications issued between December 2, 1974, and December 18, 1978, that created these courts, even if they had jurisdiction over more than one district. By doing so, the law ensures that legal proceedings and actions taken by these courts during that period remain valid and effective, preventing potential legal challenges to the administration of justice in Kerala during that specific timeframe.
