The Rajasthan Shops and Commercial Establishments (Amendment and Validation) Act, 1982

General19824 sections

This Act serves as a legislative correction to the Rajasthan Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958. Its primary purpose is to resolve legal ambiguities regarding the definition of "prescribed authority" under the original 1958 law. By amending Section 2, it clarifies that the State Government has the power to notify these authorities via the Official Gazette. Crucially, the Act includes a "validation" clause, which retroactively confirms that all past appointments, decisions, and proceedings handled by these authorities are legally valid, even if there were technical flaws in their original appointment. This ensures that past administrative actions remain binding and cannot be challenged on technical grounds.
