Bare Act

The Indian Lunacy, Bombay District Municipal and Bombay Municipal Boroughs (Amendment) Act, 1936

This law amends three existing acts to change how costs are handled for people with mental illnesses. It updates the Indian Lunacy Act to ensure that the expenses for returning a lunatic to their home are paid by municipal or local district funds rather than the individual. Additionally, it modifies the Bombay District Municipal Act and the Bombay Municipal Boroughs Act to include the costs of removing criminal lunatics to asylums and maintaining them there within the municipal establishment budget. This ensures that local authorities cover these necessary medical and social care expenses.
