BOMBAY ABKARI ACT, 1878 BOMBAY ABKARI ACT, 1878 (Act V of 1878) [Passed on the 19th September, 1878] INTRODUCTION In India, orthodox religious opinions or rules have many a times influenced various political or social mass movements. The case of consumption of liquor is one of them. The issue of consumption of intoxicating drinks was condemned by the major oriental religions particularly Hindu and Muslim, in the subcontinent. But the advent of the Britishers in India changed the existing system, to a certain extent. The colonial Government secured income out of the production, sale and consumption of wine and other intoxicants. The main section of the independence movement led by the Indian National Congress was vigorously propagating against the consumption of intoxicating drinks and had launched a action programme of picketing against "liquor shops" to mobilise the people. The "liquor shop" was selected as a symbol of British Imperialism, so that a common man can fight against this identifiable imperialist object. Apart from this political object, other objectives were to make people conscious about health hazards of boozing and compell the Government treasury to.....

.....of explosion and the achievement of uniformity of practice in regard to the operation, inspection and maintenance of boilers. At the time of enactment, the Act was meant for the regulation of small capacity and low pressure Boilers, as then the boiler industry had not then developed sufficiently. Experience of the working of the Act has revealed certain practical difficulties. Apart from this, the progressively increasing industrialisation of the country in recent years has rendered the use of boilers of higher pressures and greater capacities inevitable and the existing Act and regulations are not quite adequate to meet present day requirements, especially in the matter of inspection. In view of these considerations and of the importance of boiler operation and maintenance, it is proposed to amend the Act suitably. 2, The Central Boilers Board which has been constituted under section 27Aof the existing Act deals mainly with matters concerning the registration and inspection of boilers. Boilers which were hitherto imported are also now being manufactured in India, When dealing with problems concerning the manufacture of boilers, the Board has to t: ke into account, on the.....

.....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.....
