The Glanders and Farcy and Dourine Acts (Extension) Act, 1960

General19605 sections

This law extends two existing animal disease control acts, the Glanders and Farcy Act of 1899 and the Dourine Act of 1910, to the entire state of Maharashtra. Previously, these rules only applied to specific areas like Bombay and Vidarbha. The legislation also updates how these rules are made, requiring that new regulations be published in the official gazette and laid before the state legislature for review. Finally, it repeals a specific Hyderabad-era law but ensures that any ongoing legal cases or penalties from that previous law remain valid and enforceable.
