The Police (Manipur Third Amendment) Act, 1977

The Police (Manipur Third Amendment) Act, 1977 modifies local policing laws in the state of Manipur by reversing a previous state amendment enacted in 1976. It specifically regulates section 34 of the central Police Act of 1861 by removing a rule that previously classified certain minor public nuisance offences as non-bailable under the code of criminal procedure. The Act applies to any individual within Manipur charged with these specific street-level public order violations. It matters because it protects personal liberty by restoring the standard legal right to seek bail for minor offences, preventing unnecessary pre-trial imprisonment for individuals accused of lesser infractions.
