IR · S01Revision: Origin and Purpose of Labour LawAsked in 3 of 7 papers (Dec ’22, Dec ’23, Jun ’24)
The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 is in force (from 21 November 2025). A colleague claims that commencement of one Code provision automatically repealed every remaining provision of all three predecessor enactments and invalidated every consistent appointment and order made under them. Which statement best reflects section 104?
Answering past questions is part of Pro. Today's question is free.
Why
Pro
AEvery predecessor provision and instrument necessarily vanished on the first commencement date
BOnly Parliament may ever specify a repeal date, so section 104 has no operative mechanism
CA commencement notification may specify repealed provisions; unrepealed provisions remain, and consistent prior actions are saved
DThe predecessor Acts remain the exclusive law even after their notified provisions are repealed
Rule
Exam trap
