Explanation using Example

Imagine that the state of Andhra Pradesh has recently acquired a new territory as per the provisions of Part II of The Andhra Pradesh and Madras (Alteration of Boundaries) Act, 1959. To ensure the smooth governance of this territory, the Government of Andhra Pradesh issues a notification in their Official Gazette. This notification specifies that the District Collector of the newly acquired territory is the competent authority to exercise the functions related to land revenue collection, which were previously managed by a different officer before the transfer. This change is effective from the appointed day mentioned in the act, and the relevant laws governing land revenue collection are now to be executed by the District Collector as per the notification.
