Questions about Section 7G
What does Section 7G of the Census Act deal with?
Section 7G of the Census Act is headed "Delegation of functions of the Central Government with regard to requisitioning". [7G. Delegation of functions of the Central Government with regard to requisitioning.-- The Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, direct that any powers conferred or any duty imposed on that Government by any of the provisions of sections 7A to 7F shall, under such conditi
How do I find court cases under Section 7G of the Census Act?
In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Census Act 1948 7G, section 7G Census Act 1948, section 7G of the Census Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.
What should I read with Section 7G of the Census Act, and has it changed?
Its own text turns on section 7A (Requisitioning premises, of vehicles, etc., for taking of a census), section 7F (Release of premises from requisition), so none of them can safely be read on its own. The rules and notifications made under it are where it actually bites, and there is one: most recently Exercise of powers of Central Government by Director, Census and DM under section 7A to 7F (2010).
