(d) notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (5) of the principal section, the vesting under that sub-section of all the property, powers, and duties of such local authority in the body elected under that sub-section shall take place immediately upon the coming into office of the newly elected members of such local authority;
|
|
| |
(e) the newly elected members of such local authority shall come into office on the day on which they would by law have come into office if the election at which they were elected had been an election held otherwise than in pursuance of sub-section (5) of the principal section;

(ii) such election is, for any reason, held on a subsequent day (whether before or after the expiration of the said period) and is completed after such expiration,
|
