The Arunachal Pradesh Code Volume - I (Regulations in Force in The Union Territory of Arunachal Pradesh

Abstract

From Preface: This is the first attempt to present in a Code, the laws, in force, in the Union Territory of Arunachal Pradesh. A brief historical reference to the evolution of this territory may be useful. The commencement of administration in this territory, which is now known as Arunachal Pradesh, may be traced back to the Government of India, Foreign and Political Department Notification of 1914, which provided that the Assam Frontier Tracts Regulation, 1880 would extend to the hills inhabited or frequented by Abors, Miris, Mishmis, Singphos, Khamties, Bhutias, Akas and Daflas. The Hill areas were separated from the then Darrang and Lakhimpur District of the province of Assam by issue of Notifications dated 25th September, 1914, in exercise of powers under the Assam Frontier Tracts Regulation, 1880 and the three frontier tracts (collectively known as North East Frontier Tracts).
