Chapter IV Repeal and expiry of enactments.

Where a Meghalaya Act repeals any enactment, then, unless a different intention appears, the repeals shall not-

1. (a) revive anything not in force or existing at the time at which the repeal takes effect; or
2. (b) affect the previous operation of any enactment so repealed or anything duly done or suffered thereunder or,
3. (c) affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability, acquired, accrued, accrued or incurred under any enactment so repealed; or
4. (d) affect any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against any enactment so repealed; or
5. (e) affect any investigation, legal proceeding or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture or punishable as aforesaid; and any such investigation, legal proceeding or remedy may be instituted, continued or enforced and any such penalty, forfeiture or punishment may be imposed as if the repealing Act had not been passed.

Where a Meghalaya Act (not being an Act which is to cease to have effect or to cease to operate on the expiry of a particular period or on the happening of a particular contingency) amends the text of any enactment by the express omission, insertion or substitution of any matter, and any such amending Act is subsequently repealed, then, unless a different intention appears, the repeal shall not affect the continuance of any such amendment made by the amending act, if such amendment was in force at the time of the repeal.

Where a Meghalaya Act repeals and re-enacts, with or without modification, and provision of a former enactment, then references in any other enactment to the provision so repealed, shall, unless a different intention appears, be construed as references to the provision so re-enacted.

In any enactment, for the purpose of reviving either wholly or partially, any enactment wholly or partially repealed, it shall be necessary expressly to state that purpose.

Where a Meghalaya Act ceases to have effect or ceases to operate on the expiration of a particular period or on the happening of a particular contingency, then, unless a different intention appears, the expiry shall not affect-

1. (a) the previous operation of , or anything duly done or suffered under the enactment; or
2. (b) any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under that Act; or
3. (c) any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against that Act; or
4. (d) any investigation, legal proceeding or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture, or punishment as aforesaid; and any such investigation, legal proceeding or remedy may be instituted, continued or enforced and any such penalty, forfeiture or punishment may be imposed as if the Act had not expired.
