This Act provides procedures for handling unclaimed dead bodies in the state of Manipur. When a body isn't claimed by relatives within a prescribed time period, the State Government authorizes designated officers to take possession of it. The bodies are then either handed over for anatomical examination at teaching medical institutions or forwarded to the police if there's doubt about the cause of death. The Act defines various terms including "near relative" and "person interested" and establishes that authorized officers are public servants under the Indian Penal Code. It applies to the whole state and covers bodies found in hospitals, prisons, or public places.
