Bombay Abolition of Whipping Act, 1957, (Maharashtra) Preamble

Title: the Bombay Abolition of Whipping Act, 1957

State: Maharashtra

Year: 1957

THE BOMBAY ABOLITION OF WHIPPING ACT, 1957 [ Act No. 39 of 1957]1 [28th September, 1957] Amended by Maharashtra Repealing and Amending Act, 1991 (Mah. Act No. 22 of 1991). INTRODUCTION Whipping as a form of punishment was existing in the Pre-British and British India. Several instances can be found that this form of punishment was widely prevalent in the Presidency Area of Bombay during East India Company and thereafter. The old Act of 1909 provided for whipping as a possible punishment for several categories of offences criminal and civil. Convicted men, women, children, prostitutes, juvenile delinquents, prisoners and beggars were subjected to lashed. This barbarous punishment was abolished as there was an international movement against it. The Central Legislation was passed in 1955 and now whipping as a form of punishment is abolished. PREAMBLE An Act to provide for the abolition of whipping as a punishment in the State of Bombay. WHEREAS Parliament has enacted the Abolition of Whipping Act, 1955, for the purpose of the abolition of whipping as a punishment; AND WHEREAS it is expedient to provide for the abolition of whipping as a punishment in the State of.....

Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1958

.....in 1867, 1882andagain in 1893and 1896 but all these attempts failed owing to legal and constitutional difficulties.Two of the principal contributory factors were the then limited powers of the Indian Legislature to legislate regarding shipping and the fact that part of the British Statute law on the subject, including parts of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, which is the principal United-Kingdom enactment on the subject, applied to Indian and any Indian enactment had to be in legal harmony with that law. A fresh attempt was made in 1921-22 to codify the Indian law on merchant shipping by the Statute Law Revision Committee, which decided that only consolidation, and not revision should be attempted immediately. The result was the Indian Merchant Shipping Act, 1923, which is now on the Statute Book and which consolidated some 21 existing Indian Acts on the subject. This Act has also been amended from time to time, the two major amendments being those made in 1933 and in 1953 so as to take power to implement the provisions of the international conventions with respect to load lines, 1930, and with respect to safety of life at sea, 1948, respectively, which have been ratified by.....
