SRINAGAR, Sept 26: The law experts have been told to assist the departments in making relevant changes in the documents based on these central laws.
One hundred six laws will be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir from November 1 as Article 370 has been abrogated, which was giving special status of the state.
An official said that Law Department has been directed to provide assistance to departments for implementation of these central laws. "The advocate general, additional advocate generals will also help departments for making necessary amendments in their rules," the official said.
All the departments have started preparations for implementation of the laws.
"The officers have been told to study laws which come under their jurisdiction before implementation, The departments have also been told to make relevant changes in the documents based on these central laws. There will be a lot of changes on official records as per the new laws," the official said.
Earlier Jammu and Kashmir had its own constitution because of the special status of the state. Every legislation, except on defence, external affairs and communications began with an exception clause stating that the law will apply to the whole of India except Jammu and Kashmir. The Central laws would be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir only with the concurrence of the state legislature.
The sources said that anti-graft bodies have to work under Prevention of Corruption Act, the central law which was earlier not applicable in the state.
Acts related to the Right to Education, National Commission for Minorities, Protection of Whistleblowers, National Council for Teacher Education, Land Acquisition, National Commission for Safai Karamcharis, Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens are some of the key laws which will now be applicable here.
The Indian Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Indian Evidence Act - the most important statutes governing criminal trials will now apply.
The other important criminal laws would be National Security Act, Prevention of Corruption Act, Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, The Protection of Children From Sexual Offences Act and The Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act.
Among personal laws, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 and the Special Marriage Act enacted by Parliament would also be applicable. |
