摘要

本文旨在评估英属印度最重要的紧急状态法之一的法律遗产：1857 年第 XI 号法案，又称《国家犯罪法》。虽然该法案是在 1857 年印度起义期间出台的，但本文将论证该法案中包含的司法外条款对 1857 年后 "特殊 "或例外殖民地刑事立法的法律特征产生了重大影响，这种影响继续反映在后殖民时期印度制定的惩罚性紧急状态法中。第十一号法案的长期历史意义将通过研究殖民地时期和后殖民时期印度颁布的一些更著名的惩罚性或镇压性立法来说明，这些立法包括 1867 年的《谋杀暴乱法》、1915 年的《印度国防法（刑法修正案）》、1919 年的《无政府和革命罪行法》、1962 年的《印度国防法》以及最近的 1985 年的《恐怖主义和破坏活动（预防）法》。

Act XI of 1857: The life and afterlife of an emergency statute in colonial and post-colonial India

This article seeks to assess the legal legacy of one of British India’s most significant emergency acts: Act XI of 1857, also known as the State Offences Act. Although introduced during the Indian Uprising of 1857, it will be argued that the extra-judicial provisions contained in this act exerted a strong influence on the legal character of post-1857 ‘special’ or exceptional colonial criminal legislation, an influence that continued to be reflected in the punitive emergency laws set in place in post-colonial India. The long-term historical significance of Act XI will be illustrated by examining some of the more notable pieces of punitive or repressive legislation enacted in colonial and post-colonial India, namely the Murderous Outrages Act of 1867, the 1915 Defence of India (Criminal Law Amendment) Act, the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919, the Defence of India Act, 1962, and, more recently, the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act of 1985.
