The Mahul Creek (Extinguishment of Rights) Act, 1922

General19223 sections

This law officially ends navigation rights in a specific part of Mahul Creek located north of a drawbridge that the Port of Bombay trustees plan to permanently close. It applies to anyone who previously had the right to navigate that waterway. To address the impact of this change, the Act mandates that the Collector of Bombay must assess and award compensation to affected individuals for any losses or damages they suffer. The compensation process follows the rules of the Land Acquisition Act of 1894, ensuring that those losing their rights are fairly paid for the loss.
