How does clause (2) of Section 243ZC affect the functions and powers of the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council?
Clause (2) of Section 243ZC does not specifically affect the functions and powers of the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council. However, it states that "nothing in this Part shall be construed to affect the functions and powers of the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council constituted under any law for the time being in force for the hill areas of the district of Darjeeling in the State of West Bengal." This implies that the provisions of Section 243ZC do not limit or reduce the authority of the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council, but it does not explicitly enhance or extend their functions and powers either.
