The Rajasthan Canal (Substitution of Name) Act, 1985

General19853 sections

This Act officially renames the Rajasthan Canal to the Indira Gandhi Canal in India. It applies to all government bodies, contracts, legal entities, and individuals interacting with the canal, requiring the new name to be utilized across all state laws, agreements, leases, and active legal proceedings retrospectively from November 9, 1984. This legislation matters because it establishes legal continuity. By ensuring that all existing rights, obligations, titles, and liabilities created under the original name remain fully valid under the new name, it prevents administrative confusion and guarantees that this major infrastructural renaming does not disrupt any ongoing operations or agreements.
