The Punjab Laws (Extension No. 11) Act, 1962

General196212 sections

The Punjab Laws (Extension No. 11) Act, 1963, is a legislative instrument designed to harmonize the legal framework within the state of Punjab following the merger of the Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU). Its primary function is to extend specific Punjab and Central laws—such as those governing canals, aerial ropeways, and ferries—to the "transferred territories" that were previously part of PEPSU. By doing so, it ensures legal uniformity across the state. For the ordinary citizen, this act provides clarity on which laws govern their daily activities, replacing outdated local regulations with consistent, state-wide statutes while protecting existing legal rights.
