The state of Pondicherry comprised ex-French settlements of India after their de facto transfer in October 1954. Kripalani succeeded Kewal Singh as the chief commissioner of Pondicherry on 16 November 1956.[2] The political musings of 1st Pondicherry Representative Assembly during tenure became a quite a sensation and it caught the attention of then Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and others. Some of his decisions were criticized by political leaders of Pondicherry who rued that delay in de jure transfer[note 1] is one of the main reasons as the Pondicherry assembly had only advisory role and Chief commissioner can take decisions overriding the assembly.[5]: 103

Notesedit
^The de facto transfer of French settlements in India occurred in November 1954. In January 1955, The Indian union government by an order renamed the four French settlements in India as State of Pondicherry.[3]: 20 A treaty of cession was signed between India and France in 1956.[4] However, the Algerian war delayed the ratification of 1956 treaty by French parliament which finally happened during August 1962. This had some implications on the political and administrative aspects of the State of Pondicherry.
