Which law created Chandigarh as a Union Territory and made it the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana?
The Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966 (Act No. 31 of 1966), enacted by Parliament, reorganised the State of Punjab and constituted Chandigarh as a Union Territory serving as the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana, administered by the Central Government through an Administrator. It was published in the Gazette of India.

Chandigarh legal source types we structure
Chandigarh legal coverage will include primary legislation, secondary legislation, regulatory materials, court decisions, guidance, enforcement documents, and legislative history where available.
Legislation & Regulations
Central Acts extended to the Union Territory, Administrator's regulations and rules, statutory notifications, government orders, and departmental circulars, taken directly from the Chandigarh Administration gazette and the India Code repository.
Legislative History
As a Union Territory without its own legislative assembly, Chandigarh's primary law is made by Parliament and by the Administration; parliamentary bills and materials for laws extending to Chandigarh, and successive Administration notifications, are tracked version by version where available, each tied to its source.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Tariff orders, notifications, circulars, decisions, and enforcement materials from Chandigarh regulators such as JERC, RERA Chandigarh, the Municipal Corporation, and the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee.
Case Law
Court and tribunal decisions from official and authoritative sources, including the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which has jurisdiction over Chandigarh, where available.

Why Lawstronaut for Chandigarh legal research
Chandigarh legal information is spread across the Administration's gazette and notifications, its departments and the Estate Office, the India Code repository of central Acts, Union Territory regulators, and the courts. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Chandigarh legal coverage
Chandigarh is a Union Territory of India within India's common-law system, serving as the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana. Unlike Delhi or Puducherry, it has no legislative assembly of its own: it is administered directly by the Central Government through an Administrator (a role held by the Governor of Punjab), so primary law comes from Acts of Parliament while the Administration issues regulations, rules, government orders, and notifications published in the Chandigarh Administration gazette. Judicial authority rests with the Punjab and Haryana High Court and subordinate courts and tribunals. Legal materials are published primarily in English and Hindi.
Chandigarh's legal and institutional map continues to shift: the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966 constituted the territory and left its status contested between Punjab and Haryana, land and property are governed by the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952 and Estate Office rules, and recent measures — such as the 2022 notification applying Central Civil Services rules to Chandigarh Administration employees — have reset areas of administrative law. Provisions keep changing, so citations to superseded notifications or rules can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Chandigarh legal research answer correct today.
