Bare Act

The Bombay Tobacco Laws (Repeal) Act, 1959

This Act formally repeals two specific tobacco control laws, namely the Bombay Tobacco Act of 1957 and the Hyderabad Tobacco Act of 1358 Fasli, thereby removing the legal framework that previously governed tobacco regulations in those regions. While it eliminates these statutes, the law includes important savings provisions that ensure the repeal does not disrupt ongoing legal matters, existing rights, or penalties already incurred. Consequently, the Act matters because it cleans up outdated legislation without retroactively invalidating the legal status of past actions or ongoing cases related to tobacco control in Bombay and Hyderabad.
