But the power conferred thereunder on the Governor to bring into force the laws set out in the Schedule continued and would continue so long as the Regulation remained on the statute book. That being the position, the notification, dated September 8, 1961, though issued after the power under paragraph 19 (1) (b) had ceased, was validly made as the power to issue such a notification under the Regulation did not lapse since the Regulation itself continue to operate.” Unquote Kumta, ka shai kdar ba na kane ka rai jong ka Supreme Court badonburom, ba u Governor jong ka Meghalaya ruh u lah lada u mon ban pynmih noh ia ka Notification ba la pynjari ia ka Eastern Bengal Frontier Regulation, 1873 (ILP) ban treikam noh ha ki jaka baroh jong ka United Khasi-Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council kaba mynta la phiah ha ki ar tylli ki District Council (KHADC bad JHADC), namar ki kyntien “power conferred on the Governor ..” ki thew ia katei ba la thoh haneng jong ka Regulation No. 5 of 1952 – “2.
