Union Territories & Panchayats
This Part applies to Union Territories too - without a Legislative Assembly, "Legislature of a State" means the UT's Administrator; with one, it means that Assembly - though the President may, by notification, exclude a UT (or part of it) from this Part entirely.
This extends the co-operative societies framework to Union Territories with the necessary terminology adjustments, while giving the President flexibility to exempt specific territories if needed.
This is why co-operative societies operating in a Union Territory are also generally subject to this same constitutional framework, adapted to that territory's specific administrative structure.
