The Tamil Nadu Repealing Act, 2020

General20205 sections

The Tamil Nadu Repealing Act, 2020 is a legislative cleanup statute designed to remove obsolete, spent, and redundant laws from the state's legal records. It formally repeals over a hundred old amendment statutes, temporary President's Acts, and outdated colonial-era legislation, such as the Tamil Nadu Coffee-stealing Prevention Act of 1878. For ordinary citizens, business owners, and legal professionals, this law simplifies the state statute book by stripping away dead law while explicitly preserving existing rights, titles, liabilities, ongoing court proceedings, and past legal transactions that occurred while those old laws were still active.
