The British East India Company established settlements during the 17th century. The company was brought under British government control, with the first Governor-General appointed in 1786. The Company was abolished in 1858 and its functions transferred to the British Crown. The separate countries of India and Pakistan became independent in 1947. In 1997 there were 25 states and 7 union territories within India.
Pamphlet copies of both Indian and State reprinted acts have the words "as modified up to..." on their covers. Comprehensive sets of bound volumes of reprinted acts are usually called "Codes".
Most legislation has also been published in full in the various Indian and State government gazettes.
