Bare Act

The Madhya Pradesh Refugees Registration and Movement Act, 1947

This act provides rules for managing individuals who have fled civil unrest or danger in other areas and entered Madhya Pradesh, requiring them to officially register with designated centers. It specifically impacts people who are ordinarily residents outside India and have moved here for safety. The law gives the provincial government the power to direct refugees to specific neighborhoods and stay there, aiming to maintain public order and prevent uncontrolled movement. Offenses under this act carry penalties of up to six months in jail or fines, allowing police to arrest violators without a warrant.
