The Assam Jute (Control of Prices) Act, 1950

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by The Assam Jute (Control of Prices) (Repealing) Act, 2023 (named as the Act repealing it in the Assam Legislative Department's list of repealed Acts, alphabetical_repealed_act_final.pdf; the list gives no date); it may still apply to matters that began before then.
