Bare Act
The Cattle-Trespass (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 1957
General19573 sections
This Act amends the Cattle-trespass Act of 1871 to change the authority responsible for certain provisions from a Magistrate to the District Collector. It also introduces a new section allowing individuals ordered to pay compensation to appeal those orders as if they were criminal convictions. The law ensures that compensation payments are withheld until the appeal period has passed or the appeal is decided, preventing premature payment while the legal process is ongoing. This change provides a clearer legal framework for resolving disputes over cattle trespass and associated compensation in Tamil Nadu.
