AP Reorganisation Act 2014 — Explained · Chapter 7
06 | Section 6 and the expert committee

Section 6 directed the Central Government to constitute an expert committee to study alternatives for AP's new capital and recommend within six months of enactment. A committee recommendation is a planning input. It is not itself a statute naming a city, a budget sanction, a land title or a completed Secretariat. This section explains why capital location and development required an additional process after the territorial split.

Read Section 6 together with Section 94(3), which calls for special financial support for essential capital facilities, and with the later Section 5 amendment. They perform different functions: study alternatives, support creation and name the capital in the central statute. The physical project involves land, planning, infrastructure, environmental and financial decisions outside the single sentence of Section 6. In an exam, avoid answering a capital-funding question with the expert-committee section merely because both mention the capital.

Worked example: A textbook says an expert committee 'declared' the capital. Section 6 required a study and recommendations; it did not itself turn recommendations into a named statutory capital. Section 94(3) deals with central support for essential facilities, while the later amendment changes Section 5. Place committee advice, legal designation, financial assistance and construction in four separate boxes to avoid mixing their functions.

Active recall: Which section created the expert-committee requirement? Which provision deals with central support for essential capital facilities?
