The Assam Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1935 (Single Document)

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by Registration of Birth and Death Act, 1969 (18 of 1969) (named as the Act repealing it in the Assam Legislative Department's list of repealed Acts, alphabetical_repealed_act_final.pdf; the list gives no date); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

(3) Subject to the provisions of sub-section (4) of this section it shall extend in the first instance only to the areas in Assam in which the Bengal Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1873, is, before the passing of this Act, in force but the Local Government may, at any time, by a notification published in the Assam Gazette, direct that all births and deaths, or all births, or all deaths, occurring within the limits of any other area after a certain date to be named in such notification shall be registered, and, for that purpose, may define the limits of such other area.
