Title: Act to Which a Person is Compelled by Threats

State: Central

Year: 1860

Except murder, and offences against the State punishable with death, nothing is an offence which is done by a person who is compelled to do it by threats, which, at me time of doing it, reasonably cause the apprehension that instant death to that person will otherwise be the consequence: Provided the person doing the act did not of his own accord, or from a reasonable apprehension of harm to himself short of instant death, place himself in the situation by which he became subject to such constraint. Explanation 1.--A person who, of his own accord, or by reason of a threat of being beaten, joins a gang of dacoits, knowing their character, is not entitled to the benefit of this exception, on the ground of his having been compelled by his associates to do anything that is an offence by law. Explanation 2.--A person seized by a gang of dacoits, and forced, by threat of instant death, to do a thing which is an offence by law; for example, a smith compelled to take his tools and to force the door of a house for the dacoits to enter and plunder it, is entitled to the benefit of this exception.

Year: 1885

.....in which mines or minerals are situate under land which it is desired to acquire under the Land Acquisition Act, 1870 (now see Land Acquisition Act, 1894). Act XXII of 1863, which was replaced by the Land Acquisition Act, 1870, contained specific provisions (Ss. 51and52) for cases in which mines and minerals lay under land taken up under that Act. These provisions were not, however, re-enacted in the Act of 1870, which as the Government is advised, contemplates the acquisition of the underlying minerals as well as the surface of the land. Hitherto this state of the law has caused no inconvenience. Now, however, owing to its being proposed to extend railways across districts where there is a certain amount of coal to be found, notice has been drawn to, the convenience of the existing law which practically compels the Government either to purchase all the mines and minerals under the land over which it is proposed to construct a line or to abandon the undertaking altogether. Under these circumstances the present Bill has been prepared. It does not however simply re-enact the provisions which Act XXII of 1863 formerly contained, inasmuch as they do not appear to be adopted to.....
