The Tamil Nadu General Clauses (Amendment) Act, 1976

General197624 of 23 sections available

This Act amends the Tamil Nadu General Clauses Act, 1891 by inserting a new section that interprets references to a "Minister" when President's Rule is in effect in Tamil Nadu. During such central governance, any mention of a Minister in laws or government orders is treated as a reference to the Governor or a specific officer appointed by the Governor instead. This provision preserves the validity of laws and administrative actions by ensuring that legal mandates remain executable under constitutional authority rather than suspended executive offices.
