In the enactments, or rules, regulations, notifications, orders and by-laws made, and directions or instructions issued, thereunder, as referred to in section 4, any reference :- (1) to a law which is not in force in the transferred territories shall in relation to such territories, be construed as a reference to the corresponding law, if any, in force in such territories; and (2) to the State of Punjab, by whatever form of words, shall be construed as including as reference to the transferred territories.

If immediately before the commencement of this Act, there is in force in the transferred territories any law corresponding to any of the enactments or rules, regulations, notifications, orders and by-laws made, and directions or instructions issued, thereunder, extended to those territories by section 4, that law, including the enactments specified in Schedule III, shall on the commencement of this Act, save as otherwise expressly provided in this Act, stand repealed: Provided that such repeal shall not affect- (a) the previous operation of any law so repealed or anything duly done or suffered thereunder ; or (b) any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired or incurred under any law so repealed ; or (c) any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against any law so repealed ; or (d) any investigation, legal proceeding or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture or punishment as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imposed, as if this Act had not been passed : Provided further that anything done or any action taken under any laws so repealed shall be deemed to have been done or taken under the corresponding provisions of the enactment extended by section 4 to the transferred territories, and shall continue to be in force accordingly, unless and until superseded by anything done or any action taken under the enactments so extended.
