The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad is at present administered by a Special Officer appointed by the State Government under the proviso to clause (1) of section 2 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporations (Amendment) Act, 1970 (Andhra Pradesh Act II of 1970). According to the terms of the said proviso, the term of appointment of the Special Officer will expire on the 2nd August, 1973.
/
2. Since' it will not be possible to complete the delimitation of consti- tuencies within municipal limits and to conduct the elections to the Cor- poration Council before the 2nd August, 1973, and since it will not also be possible to undertake in the near future, the necessary legislation further to amend the Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Act, 1955 (Hyderabad Act II of 1956), it is felt that the term of appointment of the Special Officer should be further extended by one more year. The Bill seeks to achieve this object.
3. The Committee, constituted under the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Andhra Pradesh State Legislature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1973 (8 of 1973), has been consulted before the enactment] of this measure as a President's Act.
