State Act
Section 25. Penalty for forging of stamp or tampering with weights, etc.
The Assam Adoption of Standard Weights Act, 1955
This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Assam Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1959 (Assam Act No. XIX of 1959), as listed in the Assam Legislative Department's list of repealed Acts; it may still apply to matters that began before then.
25. (1) Whoever forges or counterfeits any stamp used under this Act for the stamping of any weight or weighing instrument, or removes a stamp from any weight or weighing instrument and inserts the same into another weight or weighing instrument, or wilfully tampers with a weight or weighing instrument stamped under this Act so as to effect its accuracy, shall on conviction, be punishable with rigorous imprisonment for a period which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both. (2) Whoever knowingly uses, sells, disposes of or exposes for sale any weight or weighing instrument with such forged or counterfeit stamp thereon or a weight otherwise tampered with, shall on conviction, be punishable with rigorous imprisonment for a period which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees or with both.
