The Orissa (Prevention Of) Gambling Act, 1955 Complete Act

State: Orissa

Year: 1955

.....follows: Statement of Objects and Reasons.- At present, three Gambling Acts are in form in different parts of Orissa. They are- (1) Public Gambling Act, 1867 (Act III of 1867); (2) Bengal Gambling Act, 1867 (Act II of 1867); and (3) Madras Gambling Act, 1930 (Act III of 1930). Before the merger some of the ex-State areas had adopted either Bengal Gambling Act or the Central Act, but after the merger the Bengal Gambling Act was extended to all ex-State areas. In the old district of Sambalpur the Central Act is in force while in ex-State areas included in these districts the Bengal Gambling Act is in operation. This has created a situation under which the Police Officers in the same district have to apply two different Acts for prosecution of the offenders. It has, therefore, become imperative to replace all the Acts by one new Act. Hence this Bill. Section 1 - Short title, extent and commencement (1) This Act may be called the Orissa Prevention of Gambling Act, 1956. (2) It extends to the whole of the State of Orissa. (3) It shall come into force at once ; provided that the State Government shall have power by notification to direct from time to time the suspension of operation.....
