12. The Supreme Court in similar circumstances in Angroori Devi smt. Vs. State of U.P. And others JT 2000 Supp.1 SC 295 held that when it is proved that possession under the principal Act was not taken in accordance with law, the subsequent repealing Act would abate all proceedings under the old Act. I have held in S. Sivaparamam vs. State of Tamil Nadu rep. by its Secretary, Revenue Department, Chennai (2007) 6 MLJ 1279 that in the absence of anything on record to show that physical possession of lands has been taken over by the Government, it is not possible to hold that the vesting has taken place even before the repeal Act coming into effect.
