The Punjab Laws (Extension No. 10) Act, 1961

General196112 sections

This Act extends the operation of specific Punjab laws to certain territories that were transferred after the state reorganization of November 1, 1956. It applies to areas that were once the state of Patiala and East Punjab States Union and portions of the state of Punjab. The Act matters because it automatically brings existing laws, rules, and administrative directions into force in these new regions without needing new legislation. This ensures legal continuity and stability for the residents and government bodies in the transferred territories immediately after the merger.
