Which of the following Union Territories of India was granted legislature through the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963?
Puducherry
The Government of Union Territories Act, 1963, was enacted to provide legislative assemblies and councils of ministers for certain Union Territories.
Under this Act, Puducherry was granted a legislative assembly, allowing it an elected legislature and a council of ministers.
Andaman & Nicobar and Chandigarh are Union Territories without a legislature, and Delhi received its own legislative assembly separately through the 69th Amendment and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991.
Hence, the Union Territory granted legislature through the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963 is Puducherry.
