The Assam Opium Prohibition (Amendment) Act, 1952, is a legislative update to the Assam Opium Prohibition Act, 1947. Its primary function is to modify Section 11 of the original law. By inserting the words "and section 16" into the text, the amendment ensures that the definitions or procedural rules established in Section 11 also apply to the matters governed by Section 16. This is a technical adjustment designed to clarify the scope of enforcement powers, ensuring that authorities can apply consistent legal standards across both sections when regulating opium-related activities within the state of Assam.
