Advocates Act, 1961 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1961

.....Bill seeks to achieve these objectives.- S.O.R. -Gaz. of Ind., 13-8-1962, Pt. II, S. 2, Ext., p.641. Act 21 of 1964.- The working of the Advocates Act, enacted in May, 1961, has revealed certain practical difficulties and representations in this behalf have been received from various State Bar Councils and other associations. The Bar Council of India has also suggested certain amendments to the Act. Difficulties were being experienced mainly in regard to the functioning of the Bar Councils and the Committees thereof and also in regard to the enrolment as advocates of certain classes of persons who may not fall strictly within the scope ofsections 17and24of the Act. It is considered necessary that the Act should be suitably amended for removing such difficulties and for facilitating the implementation of its provisions. 2. The Act provides for the general supervision and control of the Bar Council of India over all State Bar Councils in order that they may, in the exercise of their powers, follow a uniform all-India policy. The powers given to the Bar Council of India in this behalf are, however, inadequate and it is considered necessary to enlarge its powers. It is therefore.....

Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1958

.....Monuments Preservation Act, 1904, and the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Declaration of National Importance) Act, 1951. The Act of 1951 merely declares certain monuments, etc., to be of national importance and the Act of 1904 applies also to such monuments. While the Constitution has distributed the subject-matter under three different heads the Act of 1904 governs all ancient monuments whether falling in the Central field or the State field, and vests all executive power in the Central Government. The position of the existing law relating to ancient monuments is far from satisfactory. The present Bill purports to be a self contained law at the Centre which will apply exclusively to ancient monument, etc., of national importance falling under Entry 67 of List I and to archaeological sites and remains falling under Entry 40 in the Concurrent List. Simultaneously, the State Governments would be advised to enact a similar law in respect of ancient monuments, etc., falling under Entry 12 in the State List. In this manner, the Central and State fields will be clearly demarcated and the existing confusion and overlapping of jurisdiction arising.....

Arms Act, 1959 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1959

.....of the provisions of the Act. There has been increased use of firearms, mootly unauthorised by terrorists and others in committing violent acts. Such activities have been particularly noticed in 'disturbed areas' like Punjab and Chandigarh. The punishments provided for at present do not have a strong deterrent effect. There is, therefore, an increased need to provide for more stringent punishment to curb unauthorised access to arms and ammunition and to combat the growing menace of terrorism. It is accordingly proposed to provide for very stringent punishments for illegal possession or carrying of arms in disturbed areas and for contravention of sub-section(1B) of section 25of the Act in disturbed areas. It is also proposed to make the Punishments for other contraventions of the said sub-section(1B) more stringent. 2 The.Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives. -S.O.R. - Gaz. of India. 16-5-1985, Pt. II-S. 2. Ext., p. 3 (No29). Act 42 of 1988- The Arms Act, 1959 had been amended to provide for enhanced publishments in respect of offences under that Act in the context of escalating terrorist and anti-national activities.
