Official Secrets Act, 1923 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1923

.....(10 and 11 Geo. V. C. 75), but the latter Statute does not apply to British India. It has, for some time past, been recognised that it is unsatisfactory to have two separate laws in force simultaneously in India. Further, although the British Act of 1911 is in force in India difficulties arise in applying it because of the use in it of English common law terms and so on. For these reasons it is desirable that there should be a single consolidated Act applicable to Indian conditions and the desirability of this has been emphasized by the passing of the British Act of 1920 which has considerably amended the Act of 1911, but is not applicable to India. The provisions of the British Act of 1911are more effective, particularly in the matter of the protection of military secrets than the Indian enactments, and they have been further strengthened by the enactment of the amending statute of 1920, which is based on experience gained during the War. It is considered desirable; therefore, that the law in India should be assimilated to that in force in the United Kingdom and the object of this Bill is to consolidate the provisions of the British Acts of 1911 and 1920 and to enact them in.....

For the purposes of this sub-section, the word "notice" shall have the same meaning as is ascribed to it in section 4 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. (5) Nothing in this section shall be construed as derogating from the existing powers or jurisdiction of any Court. OBJECTS AND REASONS "We think it well to commence clause 3 by a specific reference to the Usury Laws Repeal Act, 1855, as the powers conferred by the Bill override pro tanto the provisions of that Act. We have accepted the view that the Court may act under the provisions of this clause suo motu as we attach considerable weight to the body of opinion which suggests this course and have modified the language of the Bill accordingly. We have careful consideration to the question whether there should not be some restriction on the powers of .the Court to re-open agreements closing previous dealings and creating new obligations. We think that there is something to be said for.....
