Bare Act

The Uttarakhand Witness Protection (Repeal) Act, 2025

This Act formally repeals the Uttarakhand Witness Protection Act of 2020, thereby removing the specific legal framework designed to safeguard witnesses in the state. It applies to the legal system and all individuals involved in legal proceedings within Uttarakhand. The repeal matters because it eliminates the protections previously available to witnesses, potentially increasing their vulnerability. However, the law includes a saving clause ensuring that any actions or proceedings already started under the old Act remain valid and enforceable as if the repeal had not occurred, providing continuity for ongoing cases.
