State Of Tamil Nadu vs P.Saravanan on 3 October, 2019
16. The words “anything duly done or suffered thereunder” used
in clause (b) of Section 6 are often used by the legislature in saving
clause which is intended to provide that unless a different intention
appears, the repeal of an Act would not affect anything duly done or
suffered thereunder. This Court in Hasan Nurani Malak v. S.M. Ismail,
Asstt. Charity Commr., Nagpur [AIR 1967 SC 1742] has held that the
object of such a saving clause is to save what has been previously done
under the statute repealed. The result of such a saving clause is that the
pre-existing law continues to govern the things done before a particular
date from which the repeal of such a pre-existing law takes effect.
