The Telangana General Clauses Act, 1891; and (b) It shall come into force on the first day of January, 1892
The Telangana General Clauses Act, 1891 serves as a foundational reference law that standardizes the construction, interpretation, and language of legislation within the state of Telangana. It applies across state statutes, regulations, ordinances, and official orders, establishing standard legal definitions for common terms like person, property, and good faith. Additionally, the Act sets out procedural rules governing how laws take effect, how rules are framed or amended, how repealed legislation affects existing rights and legal proceedings, and how deadlines, administrative powers, and fines are handled. This law matters because it ensures consistency, prevents redundancy in legal drafting, and provides legal clarity for judges, government officials, and citizens.
