Explanation using examples
Imagine that there is a district in India known as the Lushai Hills District. The government decides that for administrative or cultural reasons, the name of this district should be changed. To make this change official, a law called the Lushai Hills District (Change of Name) Act, 1954 is passed.
The Act itself is identified by the name mentioned in section 1(1), so when people refer to this law, they will call it the Lushai Hills District (Change of Name) Act, 1954. This is how it will be known in legal documents, government records, and to the general public.
Furthermore, the Act doesn't take effect immediately upon being passed. Instead, it requires an official start date, which is determined by the Central Government. The government will announce this date by publishing a notice in the Official Gazette, as stated in section 1(2). Only from that specified date will the district officially be recognized by its new name in all government records and correspondences.
