The Bombay Extension of Laws to Non-Scheduled (Partially Excluded) Areas Act, 1954

General19546 sections

This Act extends three specific laws from Bombay to areas that were partially excluded before the Constitution but are not considered scheduled areas. It applies to these non-scheduled regions to ensure legal uniformity. The laws extended include those regarding bigamous marriages, divorce, and excommunication. The Act also allows the State Government to remove any difficulties in implementing these laws and preserves existing orders made before the law came into effect. Essentially, it brings important legal protections and regulations to these specific regions by applying existing Bombay statutes to them.
