The Haryana Juvenile Smoking Repeal Act, 2023

The Haryana Juvenile Smoking Repeal Act, 2023

This Act is a legislative cleanup measure designed to remove the "Haryana Juvenile Smoking Act, 1918" from the statute books. By repealing this outdated law, the state government effectively terminates the specific legal framework that previously governed juvenile smoking in Haryana. Crucially, the Act includes a "savings" clause, which ensures that any legal actions, rights, or liabilities that occurred while the 1918 Act was in force remain valid and are not erased by this repeal. For the ordinary citizen, this means the old law is no longer active, but past legal consequences or proceedings remain unchanged.
