Bare Act

The Kerala Municipal Councils (Extension of Term of Office of Councillors) Act, 1979

This Act extends the term of office for municipal councillors in Kerala to give local governments more time before facing elections. It overrides an earlier municipal law to keep councillors in their positions until October 1, 1979, ensuring there is enough time to hold fresh local polls and maintain stable administration. Additionally, the law discards a previous ordinance from 1978 but confirms that any work done under that ordinance remains valid, which helps smooth out legal processes and prevents confusion in local municipal governance.
