(3) The Mysore Prisons Act, 1943, (Mysore Act XLIV of 1943), as in force in the Mysore Area.

This Bill is accordingly brought forward. 4 (Published in Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A dated 16th June 1962 as No. 4314, at page. 223) II Amending Act 13 of 1965.—The scheme of separation of the judiciary is in force in all the integrated areas of the State. The scheme has been given effect to in accordance with the executive orders issued in this behalf, in all the integrated areas, except the Bombay Area. In Bombay Area, the scheme has been given effect to by the Bombay Separation of Judicial and Executive Functions Act, 1951. The Law Commission in its report on the reform of Judicial Administration has observed that the scheme of separation could be more effectively brought into operation by undertaking legislation on the lines of the Bombay Separation of Judicial and Executive Functions Act, 1951 (Bombay Act XXIII of 1951). It is therefore considered expedient to amend the Code of Criminal Procedure in its application to the State of Mysore so as to provide for a uniform law for the separation of the performance of judicial functions and executive functions by the officers in the State. Opportunity has been taken to make certain other amendments considered necessary.
