The Kerala Repealing and Saving Act, 2022

General202270 sections

The Kerala Repealing and Saving Act, 2022 formally repeals several obsolete or redundant state laws and amendment acts listed in its schedule while preserving the legal validity of past actions taken under them. It applies across Kerala, affecting the state government, judicial bodies, local authorities, and residents who were subject to these historical statutes. By officially discarding defunct laws, including old temporary relief measures, municipal term extensions, and redundant amendment acts, it streamlines the state's legal system and prevents confusion. Crucially, the saving clause ensures that past rights, acquired liabilities, ongoing legal proceedings, and established legal principles derived from the repealed enactments remain protected and intact.
