How current this text is

Text as published by India Code for the Government of Uttar Pradesh, with amendments up to U.P. Act No. 6 of 2017.

Chapter VI (The Nyaya Panchayat), sections 42 to 94-A, is printed only as a heading with the official footnote "Chapter VI comprising sections 42 to 94-A Omitted by sec. 16 of U.P. Act No. 6 of 2017.", so those sections have no pages here.

The marginal headings printed beside each section in this edition are shown as the section headings; sections 37, 37-A, 95-A and 109 carry no marginal heading in this copy.

Marginal references to other enactments (for example "U.P. Act No. I of 1951") printed beside the text are not reproduced.

1[No Civil Court shall have jurisdiction to question the legality of any action taken or any decision given by an officer or authority appointed under this Act, in connection with the conduct of elections thereunder.]
