The Rajasthan Statutory Rules and Orders (Extension) Act, 1957

General195710 rules

This Act regulates the extension of administrative rules, regulations, and orders from the former State of Rajasthan to the newly unified state created after the 1956 territorial reorganization. It applies to all citizens, local courts, and government authorities within the expanded boundaries of Rajasthan, including newly merged territories like Ajmer, Abu, and Sunel. This legislation matters because it unified the legal system across the entire state. By extending existing laws to the newly added regions and repealing their old local rules, the Act prevented administrative confusion and ensured consistent governance for everyone living under the newly integrated state government.
