State Act

The Assam Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1958

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by an Act we do not have the name of; it may still apply to matters that began before then.

Appointment of Controller, Assistant Controllers and Inspectors.—(1) The State Government may appoint a Controller of Weights and Measures for the State and as many Assistant Controllers and Inspectors of Weights and Measures as may be necessary for exercising the powers and discharging the duties conferred or imposed on them by or under this Act. (2) The State Government may, by general or special order, define the local limits within which each Assistant Controller and Inspector shall exercise the powers and discharge the duties conferred or imposed on them by or under this Act. (3) Subject to the provisions of this Act, all Assistant Controllers of Weights and Measures and Inspectors shall perform their functions under the general superintendence and control of the Controller, and Controller and the Assistant Controllers of Weights and Measures may, in addition to the powers and duties conferred or imposed on them by or under this Act, exercise any power or discharge any duty so conferred or imposed on Inspectors.
