The Lepers (Bombay Amendment) Act, 1955

General19553 sections

This Act amends the Lepers Act of 1898 to apply specifically to the State of Bombay rather than all of India. It defines the State Government as the Government of Bombay and adds a new section clarifying that the Act applies statewide without overriding existing local laws. If any conflict arises between this Act and other local regulations regarding lepers, the provisions of this Act take precedence. This change ensures the law is tailored to Bombay's specific administrative needs and local legal framework concerning leprosy management.
