Repeal. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 23 of 1957.- Since considerable difficulty is experienced in obtaining bodies of deceased persons for educational purposes in medical institutions it is considered necessary to provide for the supply of unclaimed bodies of deceased persons to hospitals and medical and teaching institutions. Similar Acts are already in force in the areas of the former Madras, Bombay and Hyderabad States which have since integrated with the Mysore State. It is necessary that these Acts are repealed and a new Act is enacted so as to have a uniform law in the matter, applicable to all the areas of the State. Hence this Bill. (Obtained from L.A. Bill NO.5661 dated 21st June 1957) (LAW 47 LGN 57).
