be deemed to have been made in the exercise of the executive power of the State of Andhra instead of the State of Madras;

(b) if such purposes are as from that day exclusively purposes of the State of Mysore, be deemed to have been made in the exercise of the executive power of that State instead of the State of Madras; and

(c) in any other case, continue to have effect as having been made in the exercise of the executive power of the State of Madras;

and all rights and liabilities which have accrued or may accrue under any such contract shall, to the extent to which they would have been rights or liabilities of the State of Madras as constituted immediately before the appointed day, be rights or liabilities of the State of Andhra, the State of Mysore or the State of Madras, as the case may be.
