Section 2 of SMA : Section 2: Definitions

Explanation using Example

Imagine the Central Government decides to implement a new policy specific to the state of Mizoram on January 15, 2023, and refers to this date as the "appointed day" in official communications. According to the State of Mizoram Act, 1986, any references to "appointed day" in the context of the Act would mean January 15, 2023. For instance, if the Act includes provisions that come into effect starting from the "appointed day," those provisions would become active on January 15, 2023.
