Lok Sabha on Tuesday Dec 19,2017 passed two bills to repeal 245 obsolete and archaic laws,
including the 158-year-old Calcutta Pilots Act of 1859 and the
Prevention of Seditious Meeting Act of 1911.
Referring to the old and, in many cases, irrelevant pre-independence laws, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said their presence was an "unfortunate part of India's colonial legacy" and that as proud Indians, the government had decided to repeal these laws to showcase its "pro-reforms" approach.
Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad also said the government had repealed 1,824 outdated laws since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office.
