The Judicial Officers Protection (Extension to Hyderabad and Saurashtra areas of Bombay State) Act, 1958

General19584 sections

This law unifies legal protections for judges and judicial officers across the expanded Bombay State by extending the Judicial Officers Protection Act of 1850 specifically to the Hyderabad and Saurashtra regions. It repeals older local acts governing judicial immunity in those areas while protecting ongoing legal proceedings and accrued rights. The law applies to judicial officers and public officials performing judicial duties within these newly integrated territories. It matters because it ensured uniform statutory protection across the state, allowing judges to perform their duties fearlessly without threat of personal lawsuits for official acts, thereby upholding judicial independence and streamlining post-independence regional legal integration.
