General19563 sections

This Act amends the Travancore-Cochin Interpretation and General Clauses Act to reflect the reorganization of states in India. It updates the definitions of key terms to align with the current legal framework, specifically the formation of the State of Kerala. The changes remove references to the old state name, clarify that "Act" now includes laws of Kerala and Governor's ordinances, and update the definition of "Government" to refer to the State of Kerala. Additionally, it specifies that laws take effect on the day they are published in the Gazette after receiving the appropriate assent, ensuring legal clarity for the new state structure.
