The Bombay Merged Areas, Enclaves and Specified Areas (Amendment of Laws) Act, 1950

General19508 sections

This Act was a legislative tool used to integrate newly merged territories into the legal framework of the Bombay State following India's independence. After various princely states and enclaves were absorbed into Bombay, existing laws—specifically the Bombay Agricultural Debtors Relief Act, 1947, and the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948—needed to be updated to function in these new regions. This Act did not create new crimes or rights; instead, it adjusted specific dates, definitions, and application clauses within those parent laws to ensure they were legally compatible and enforceable in the newly merged villages and enclaves.
