General196414 sections

The Tamil Nadu (Added Territories) Extension of Laws Act, 1964 was enacted to extend state laws of Tamil Nadu to border territories transferred to the state under the Andhra Pradesh and Madras (Alteration of Boundaries) Act, 1959. It applies to residents, landholders, businesses, administrative officers, and courts operating within these newly added regions. By replacing old Andhra Pradesh or local laws with standard Tamil Nadu enactments, the Act ensures legal uniformity across the state. It safeguards existing rights, pending legal proceedings, and validly issued licenses, while granting courts and the executive authority the power to adapt terms and resolve transition challenges.
