..... office.17. the aforementioned recommendations have been accepted by the central government.18. therefore, the directions contained in the impugned judgment and order are contrary to the said act of 1958 as amended by the merchant shipping (amendment) act, 2002 and, therefore, are not sustainable in law.19. our attention has been drawn that the central government has not yet published the rules for the purpose ..... 1958 to enable the government of india or its agencies to give effect to those conventions and protocols.10. section 95 of the said act of 1958 has been amended by merchant shipping (amendment) act, 2002. such amendments were brought in to redefine the role of seamen's employment offices to control and regulate the manning agents and recruitment and placement service instead of controlling and regulating .....

J. Bruce Vs. C. Cronin

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1885)ILR12Cal438

cunningham and ghose, jj.1. we agree with the magistrate in the view he has taken of this matter. the amendment of clauses 1 and 2 of section 243 of the merchant shipping act, 1854 (17 & 18 vic. c. 104) by 43 & 44 vic. c. 16, does not, in our opinion, affect the liability of seamen in calcutta, under section 83 of act i of 1859, to imprisonment. had any such change been intended, it would doubtless have been expressly enacted in act v of 1883, passed subsequent to the above act 43 & 44 vic. c. 16 which in sections 35, 36 and 37 amends some portions of act i of 1859.
