The City of Bombay Municipal (Supplementary) Act, 1888

Infrastructure18882 sections

This Act serves a specific, narrow purpose: it validates the judicial powers granted to various courts and authorities under the City of Bombay Municipal Act, 1888. Essentially, it acts as a legislative "stamp of approval," ensuring that the jurisdiction given to Appellate Benches, Presidency Magistrates, and Courts of Small Causes is legally sound and treated as if it were enacted directly by the Central Government. It prevents legal challenges that might argue these courts lacked the proper authority to hear municipal disputes. It is a technical, curative statute rather than a code of conduct for citizens.
