Bare Act
The Punjab Law (Extension No.6) Act, 1959
This legislation extends various laws and regulations from Punjab State to certain territories that were previously part of a different administrative division. It specifically relates to areas transferred before November 1, 1956, bringing legal protections, regulations, and government orders into force across these regions. The Act ensures continuity of legal systems and gives courts flexibility to adapt extended laws for local circumstances while preserving important rights and protections from the previous legal framework. It maintains the existing power of the State Government to make further rules and regulations under these extended laws, creating a smoother legal transition for residents of these territories.
