State Act

'THE ASSAM CATTLE PRESERVATION ACT, 1950

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Assam Cattle Preservation Act, 2021 (named as the Act repealing it at entry 33 of the Assam Legislative Department's list of repealed Acts; the list gives no date); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

Power to enter and inspect premises.—(1) For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Act, the certifying officer or the veterinary officer or any person authorised by the veterinary officer in writing in this behalf, shall have power to enter and inspect any premises within the local limits of his jurisdiction where he has reason to believe that an offence under this Act has been or is likely to be committed. (2) Every person in occupation of any such premises as is specified in sub-section (1) shall allow the certifying officer, the veterinary officer or the person authorised, as the case may be such access to the premises as he may require for the aforesaid purpose, and shall answer any question put to him by the certifying officer, the veterinary officer or the person authorised, as the case may be to the best of his knowledge or belief.
