Bare Act

The Tamil Nadu Repealing and Amending Act, 2018

This legislation updates the state laws of Tamil Nadu, India, by repealing eleven obsolete colonial-era regulations dating back to 1802 and amending an active land revenue law. It applies to residents and landowners in the state, specifically active-duty army personnel. The act matters because it simplifies and cleans up the legal system by removing outdated, redundant legislation while safeguarding the rights of military service members. Specifically, the government must now notify a soldier's commanding officer before taking any legal action to recover unpaid land revenue, ensuring that deployed service members do not lose their property without a fair chance to respond.
