Tamil Nadu Transferred Territory) Re-Enacting Act, 1957

General19577 sections

The Tamil Nadu (Transferred Territory) Re-enacting Act, 1957 regulates the permanent continuation of specific laws enacted by the President of India during President's Rule in the former Travancore-Cochin state. It applies to the transferred territories merged into Tamil Nadu, specifically Kanyakumari district and the Shencottah taluk of Tirunelveli district. When President's Rule ended, presidential enactments were set to expire after one year unless re-enacted. This Act matters because it permanently preserves important local regulations concerning industries, agricultural pests, debt relief, irrigation, police, municipal affairs, and tenant improvements, ensuring continuous legal stability and governance in these newly merged regions without disruption.
