The Kazis (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 1978

General19783 sections

This Act amends the Kazis Act of 1880 specifically for the State of Maharashtra. It modifies the powers of Kazis by stating that they shall not confer jurisdiction or authority except as provided by other laws in force. It also adds a similar qualification to the general provisions of the Act. This ensures that the traditional powers of Kazis are subject to existing legal frameworks, preventing them from acting beyond the scope of current legislation and ensuring legal consistency within the state.
