Puducherry General Clauses Act, 1965

General19653 sections

This Act allows the General Clauses Act of 1897 to apply to laws made by the Legislative Assembly of Puducherry, providing standard definitions and rules for interpreting legislation. It matters because it ensures consistent legal interpretation across government laws in the union territory and resolves ambiguities in legislative language. The Act is applicable to all Acts of Puducherry's legislature, whether already enacted or passed after this law takes effect, giving them the same interpretative framework that federal laws currently follow under the 1897 Act.
