How does the continuance of existing laws and municipalities work after the commencement of the Constitution (Seventy-fourth Amendment) Act, 1992?
After the commencement of the Constitution (Seventy-fourth Amendment) Act, 1992, existing laws and municipalities in a State are allowed to continue till their duration expires or they are dissolved by a resolution passed by the Legislative Assembly (in case of a single house) or both Houses of the Legislature (in case of a bicameral legislature). However, any provisions of these existing laws that are inconsistent with the provisions of this Part will have to be amended or repealed by the competent Legislature or other authority within one year from the commencement of the Act.
