Practical examples
1In May 1915, a local cargo transporter named Ramesh was traveling through a toll gate in Punjab, India. He needed to know if the rules of this specific 1901 law were active in his area, and since Punjab is part of India, the law applied.
2In July 1920, a cart driver named Arjun wanted to see if a local toll collector could demand fees that conflicted with this law. Since the law came into force on April 1, 1901, and extended to the whole of India, Arjun could rely on this law to protect his rights.
