This Act was a specific legislative measure enacted to address administrative delays in the Calicut Municipal Corporation. It effectively postponed the reconstitution of the city's municipal council, setting a new deadline of October 1, 1979. During this interim period, the Act empowered the State Government to appoint specific individuals to manage the functions typically handled by the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and various committees. It ensured the continuity of municipal governance, asset management, and liability handling until the new council could be formed. Essentially, it provided a legal framework for temporary administrative control over the city's civic affairs.
