Bare Act

The Sikkim Police (Repealing) Act 1978

This Act repeals the Sikkim Police Act of 1969 and replaces it with the central Police Act of 1861 across the entire State of Sikkim. It applies to the police establishment and law enforcement operations within the state. By enacting this repeal, the existing police force constituted under the former state law is formally transitioned to operate under the national framework of the 1861 legislation. The Act ensures legal continuity by preserving all previously acquired rights, pending investigations, liabilities, and penalties incurred under the earlier law. This provided a seamless legal transition for Sikkim's police system following its integration into India.
