Reasons for the enactment
By the Proclamation dated the 10th September , 1964, issued by the President under article 356 of the Constitution of India , the powers of the Legislature of the State of Kerala were declared to be exercisable by or under the authority of Parliament . By the Kerala State Legis- lature (Delegation of Powers ) Act , 1964 ( 30 of 1964 ) , Parliament conferred on the President the power of the Legislature of the said State to make laws . By virtue of these powers , the President enacted certain Acts for the State of Kerala .
2. The President's Proclamation dated the 10th September , 1964 , was revoked on the 24th March , 1965 , by the Vice -President of India discharging the functions of the President and therefore the Procla- mation ceased to be in force on that date. Under article 357 ( 2) of the Constitution, the laws made by the President which the President would not , but for the issue of the Proclamation , have been competent THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY

to make, shall , to the extent of the incompetency, cease to have effect on the expiration of a period of one year after the Proclamation has ceased to operate , unless the provisions which shall so cease to have effect are sooner repealed or re -enacted by Act of the appropriate Legislature . Therefore , the Acts enacted by the President for the State of Kerala during the period of operation of the Proclamation dated the 10th September , 1964, will cease to have effect after the 24th March ,1966 , unless they are re - enacted . The present enactment is intended for this purpose .
3. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub - section (2 ) of section 3 of the Kerala State Legislature (Delegation of Powers ) Act , 1965 ( 12 of 1965 ) , has approved the enactment of this measure as a President's Act .
