The Bombay Statutory Corporations (Regional Reorganization) Act, 1960

General19606 sections

The Bombay Statutory Corporations (Regional Reorganisation) Act, 1960, was enacted to facilitate the administrative bifurcation of the former Bombay State into the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. It provided the State Government with the legal authority to dissolve, reconstitute, or reorganize existing statutory bodies—such as housing boards and education boards—to ensure they could function effectively within the new regional boundaries. The Act ensured the continuity of public services by managing the transfer of assets, liabilities, staff, and legal proceedings. For the ordinary citizen, this law guaranteed that essential services and institutional records remained operational and valid during a period of significant political and geographical transition.
