Bare Act

The Meghalaya Repealing Act, 1973

The Meghalaya Repealing Act, 1973, applies to the entire state of Meghalaya and took effect on April 1, 1973. This law regulates the removal of outdated or obsolete legislation from the state's active legal code. It matters because it ensures that while these old laws are cancelled, the transition does not disrupt the legal system. Specifically, it protects previously established rights, privileges, obligations, and penalties. Any ongoing legal proceedings, investigations, or punishments started under the repealed laws are saved, meaning they can still be pursued and enforced as if the repeal had never occurred.
