Recommended Amendments in The Act of 1874 by way of Simplification in a few Sections
14.1. Recommendations as to sections 4, and 7 to 10.-
We have, in the preceding Chapters, made certain specific recommendations for amendment of the Act. Besides the specific amendments recommended in each Chapter, we may mention here that the drafting of some sections of the Act, in respect of which we have suggested removal of the word 'separate', is capable of improvement and simplification, and opportunity should be taken of simplifying them. We recommend that the following new sections should be substituted in place of existing sections 7 to 10. In consequence, sections 4 and 5 can be deleted.
Hence, our recommendations are as follows:
Existing sections 4 and 5
Existing sections 4 and 5 should be deleted,. in view of the revised sections 7 to 10 recommended below.
