.....to the Indian Naval Forces. When the constitutional changes took place, action was taken to adapt this Act and it now appears as a self-contained Act. 2. This Act dealt largely with disciplinary provisions. There were no statutory provisions concerning the various matters of administration, enrolment, grant of commissions etc. 3. It was long considered that this lacuna should be filled and when the constitutional changes took place it became evident that it would be necessary to have a consolidating statute on the subject. In the meantime, in 1950, the revised Army Act and Air Force Act were passed by Parliament. It was not possible at that time to draft a revised Navy Bill as the present Act was modelled mainly on the corresponding British Act.

In drawing up the present Bill, the provisions of the Army and Air Force Acts have been borne in mind, but changes have had to be accepted on account of.....
