Indian laws at Helplinelaw.com

Bare Act at Helplinelaw.com
Some of these are waaaaaaaaaaay old.
Indian Telegraph Act - 1855. (governs modern telecom!)
The Indian Penal Code - 1860 makes homosexuality and adultery a crime
Indian Contract Act - 1872.
Official Secrets Act - 1923.
Banking Regulation Act - 1949

Explains lot of the corruption in the legal area as well as tortoise like crawl of cases through the system - ever case needs to go up for judicial review since all these old laws need to be interpreted in a modern context. Imagine if the US had laws on the books now that were passed during the pre-1776 British era! (passed in the interest of a predatory government)
