The Indian Treasure-Trove (Extension to the Hyderabad and Saurashtra Areas of Bombay State) Act, 1957

General19575 sections

This law extends the Indian Treasure-Trove Act of 1878 to the Hyderabad and Saurashtra regions of Bombay State, replacing the previous local treasure laws. It establishes that the central act applies in these areas and clarifies that the Collector in these regions is an officer appointed by the State Government. The legislation also repeals the Hyderabad and Saurashtra Treasure-Trove Acts but includes savings provisions to ensure that any rights, obligations, or penalties already incurred under the old laws remain valid. This unifies the legal framework for finding and claiming treasure across the state.
