STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Under the Part C States (Laws) Act, 1950, all the Acts mentioned in the Schedule to the Merged States (Laws) Act, 1949, with the exception of ten Acts were extended to Manipur, the exception being due to the fact that those Acts required further examination. Since then the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 had been extend- ed to Manipur by a notification issued under section 2 of the Part C States (Laws) Act, 1950. The questfon has been considered further and it has now been decided that the Indian Oaths Act, 1873, the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Suits Valuation Act, 1887, the Code 'of Civil Procedure, 1908, and the Indian Succession Act, 1925 may also be extended to Manipur.
