Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh, a resident of Delhi, is curious about a new law called the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. He reads that this law will come into effect on a date specified by the Central Government through an official notification. Rajesh understands that once the law is in effect, it will apply to most parts of India, but he notices an exception for the State of Nagaland and certain tribal areas. Rajesh has a friend, Amina, who lives in a tribal area in Assam. He learns that the provisions of this law will not automatically apply to Amina's area unless the State Government issues a notification to apply the law there, possibly with some modifications.

Example 2:

Meera, a social worker in Nagaland, hears about the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and wants to know if it affects her work. She finds out that the law does not automatically apply to Nagaland. However, the State Government has the power to issue a notification to apply the law or parts of it to Nagaland, with any necessary changes. Meera realizes that until such a notification is issued, her work and the legal framework she operates under will remain unchanged by this new law. She decides to keep an eye on any notifications from the State Government that might bring the new law into effect in her area.
