The Bombay Merged States (Laws) Act, 1950

General195026 sections

This Act extends specific laws from Bombay to the merged States, ensuring legal uniformity across the region. It lists various Acts and Ordinances in schedules to be applied, amended, or repealed, replacing any existing local laws that conflict with these extensions. The legislation also preserves certain specific laws and adjusts limitation periods to prevent legal complications during the transition. By repealing the previous 1949 Ordinance and applying general clauses, it establishes a clear legal framework for the administration of justice and governance in the newly merged territories.
