Repeal and saving

(1) The Madhya Pradesh Contingency Fund Ordinance, 1956 (No. 5 of 1956), is hereby repealed. (2) Notwithstanding such repeal, anything done or any action taken in exercise of any power conferred by or under the said Ordinance shall be deemed to have been done or taken in exercise of the powers conferred by or under this Act as if this Act were in force on the day on which such thing or action was done or taken. If, in any case, after the order sanctioning an advance from the Contingency Fund has been issued in accordance with rule 5 and before action is taken in accordance with rule 8 or 9; it is found that the advance sanctioned will remain wholly or partly unutilised, an application shall be made to the sanctioning authority for cancelling or modifying the sanction, as the case may be.
