.....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.....

.....and non-traders has been abolished. Under the Act there is power to appoint special assignees, but it is believed that this power has never in fact beep exercised in recent years. The object of it is to secure for the creditors some control over the proceedings in insolvency, but the fact that it is not made use of appears' to show that it is ineffective for that purpose. It is proposed therefore, for consideration, that the power to appoint special assignees should not be retained, but that there should be power to appoint a committee of creditors to supervise proceedings in cases in which it may be desirable to do so. This procedure is new to Indian law and for that reason it seems inexpedient, in the first instance, to define with any exactness the extent of the control which should be given to such committees. It is thought better to Lave the matter to roles, in order that advantage may be taken of experience. Under the English system the supervising authority for bankruptcy proceedings is the Board of Trade, but ] India we have nothing corresponding to that body; powers of supervision must therefore be left to the Courts.......surrenuering any practical advantage by.....
