Civil19657 sections

The 1965 Act officially extended India’s standard rules for civil court cases and private dispute resolutions to the Union territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu. This legislation is vital because it replaced older local laws with the nationwide Code of Civil Procedure and the Arbitration Act, ensuring legal consistency with the rest of the country. It applies to everyone involved in civil legal matters within these specific regions. Importantly, the Act protects existing rights and ongoing lawsuits, allowing them to continue under previous rules to ensure a smooth, fair transition to the new unified Indian legal framework for all residents.
