Dear Mr. Mohan,
Sec. 1 (2) of the clearly says that the act shall be applicable to whole of India except the state of Jammu and Kashmir,
it clearly means that if your territory comes under the territory of Union of India, then this Act shall definitely apply to your state.
Further, it has been clearly stated in the Act itself that the provisions of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 shall be applicable, if your U.T. follows Cr.P.C., then definitely the provisions of PWDV Act shall be applicable to your U.T.
