British Statutes (Application to India) Repeal Act, 1960 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1960

.....as the repeal of certain British statutes is concerned. As respects the recommendations relating to the replacement of certain British statutes by Acts of Parliament, the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958. has already replaced all the British statutes on that subject and many of the remaining Acts are under separate examination. 2. The reasons for repealing most of the British statutes are contained in the comments of the Commission in Appendix II at pp. 33-84 of its Fifth Report. The present Bill, however, includes a few British statutes which the Fifth Report has listed in Appendix III as statutes with respect to which legislation in India appears to be prima facie necessary. The examination of these Acts has revealed that they may also be repealed. The notes explain the reasons for including such statutes in the present Bill. 3. Clause 3 of the Bill introduces a saving provision on the lines recommended in paragraph 15 of the Report in order to make it clear that the repeal cannot possibly affect any privileges to which India and her citizens may be entitled under any statute now sought to be repealed in its application to territories outside India to which the India.....

.....married before 1st January 1866; secondly to declare that a married woman may sue in her own name for any property which by force of the Succession Act, or the proposed Act, is her separate property; thirdly, to relieve the husband of a wife married after the 31st December 1865, from her ante-nuptial debts; and, lastly, to declare that any person entering into a contract with a wife (otherwise than as her husband's agent), shall be entitled to sue her, and, to the extent of her separate property, to recover against her whatever he might have recovered had she been unmarried. Clause 4 (as to a wife's wages and earnings) is equivalent to the Married Women's Property Act (33 and 34 Vic., Chap. 93) section one. Clause 6 is copied from the first paragraph of section ten of that Act. It declares that any married woman may effect a policy of insurance on her own life or on her husband's life, on her own behalf, and that the amount assured shall be her separate property. As the law stands, if a wife effects such a policy (otherwise than out of her separate estate), and dies in her husband's lifetime, the husband, in the capacity of her administrator, becomes the absolute owner of the.....

Presidency Towns Insolvency Act, 1909 Complete Act

Year: 1909

....."If this Bill be passed into law it will be necessary to repeal the 1848 Act, and this raise a question which deserves consideration. The present Act is an Act of the imperial Parliament and a vesting order made under it vests in the assignee by direct operation all the real and personal estate and effects of the insolvent in whatever part of the King's dominions they may be situate or accrue; and a discharge under the Act has effect in every part of those dominions. The Act is one of those which it is within the competency of the Legislative Council of the Governor-General to repeal, but if it be repealed and an Indian Act be substituted, it follows that these advantages must at least for the most part be abandoned, since an Act of the Indian Legislature cannot operate for this purpose outside the limits of India. In 1886 it was proposed that an Act of the Imperial Parliament should be obtained to give this authority to insolvency proceedings in India, but no such Act has as yet been passed. It is believed, however, that the advantages conferred by the Act of 1848 are of no real value, since experience has shown that in practically every case in which there are assets in both.....
