Part IXB — THE CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES

Constitutional

Summary

This section says that the rules in this Part of the Constitution apply to all Union territories. For a Union territory without its own Legislative Assembly, the rules treat the administrator appointed under article 239 as if they were the state legislature. For a Union territory that does have a Legislative Assembly, the rules refer to that Assembly instead. However, the President can issue a notice in the Official Gazette to say that these rules will not apply to a specific Union territory or part of it.
