Centre introduces bill to repeal 105 redundant laws
The Centre has introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha to repeal 105 redundant legislations. Of these, one of the laws was enacted in 1867 for collecting toll “not exceeding 12 annas” from certain boats plying on the Ganga. Another 165-year-old law, which could be repealed, enables remuneration for the sheriffs of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay for executing court orders.
