The Repealing and Amending (Second) Act, 2017 is an Indian statute enacted by Parliament to clean up and streamline the nation's legal system. It regulates the legislative landscape by repealing numerous obsolete, historical laws and ordinances while making minor textual amendments to active statutes like the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act. It applies to the Republic of India, affecting anyone currently governed by these revised or abolished measures. This Act matters because it declutters Indian law by removing redundant regulations and correcting errors, while ensuring that all past actions, liabilities, and established rights remain legally and fully protected.
