The Sikkim Interpretation And General Clauses Act 1977

General197738 sections

This Act establishes standard definitions and general rules for interpreting Sikkim's state laws, applying to every Sikkim legislation. It ensures consistency by defining common terms like "Central Government," "District Court," and "month" uniformly across all state statutes. The Act also provides rules for how Sikkim laws connect to each other, how appointments work, and how rules issued under repealed legislation continue in force. This makes legal proceedings more predictable and helps ensure that statutory powers and duties are understood consistently throughout the state's judicial system.
