The Rajasthan Superimposed Stamps Validating Act, 1962

This law validates specific adhesive stamps marked with the letters R.S. that were used on financial and legal documents, like receipts and promissory notes, in the state of Rajasthan, India, between February 15, 1955, and the law's enactment in 1962. It applies to individuals, businesses, and courts involved in transactions or legal disputes using these stamps. Crucially, the legislation prevents legal agreements from being declared void simply due to stamp irregularities. It also allows individuals whose lawsuits were previously dismissed because of these disputed stamps to petition the court within a ninety-day window to reopen and review their cases.
