The Bengal Orphanages And Windows' Homes (Repealing) Act, 2023

General20233 sections

This Act formally abolishes the Bengal Orphanages and Widows' Homes Act of 1944, which previously governed the management of orphanages and homes for widows in West Bengal. It removes the legal framework established in 1944, meaning the state government is no longer required to operate under those specific provisions. However, the law ensures that any decisions or actions already made under the old Act before this repeal remain legally valid. The legislation is effective from a date the state government chooses to announce, effectively ending the old law while protecting ongoing administrative processes.
