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This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by Registration of Birth and Death Act, 1969 (18 of 1969) (named as the Act repealing it in the Assam Legislative Department's list of repealed Acts, alphabetical_repealed_act_final.pdf; the list gives no date); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

In any place to which section 259 of the Assam Municipal Act, 1923, shall have been extended, the Municipal Board or Town committee shall, if so required by the Local Government, arrange for keeping a register of all births or of all deaths or of all births and deaths, occurring within the Municipality. The Municipal Board or Town Committee shall, in such case, be authorised to provide out of the Municipal or town fund for the employment of a sufficient number of registrars, and for the expenditure necessary for the maintenance of such registers; and all the provisions of this Act shall be deemed to apply to such place 2[***] and the Municipal Board or Town Committee shall exercise all the powers of a 3[District Magistrate] under sections 2, 3 and 5 of this Act.
