Municipal Corporation Of Delhi vs Shiv Shankar on 1 February, 1971

"6. There is a presumption against repeal by implication, and the reason of this rule is based on the theory that the legislature while enacting a law has complete knowledge of the existing laws on the same subject-matter, and therefore, when it does not provide a repealing provision, the intention is clear not to repeal the existing legislation. [See: Municipal Council, Palai v. T.J. Joseph (AIR 1963 Sc 1561), Northern India Caterers (P) Ltd. v. State of Punjab (AIR 1967 SC 1581), Municipal Corpn. of Delhi v. Shiv Shanker [(1971) 1 SCC 442] and Ratan Lal Adukia v. Union of India [(1989) 3 SCC 537]. When the new Act contains a repealing section mentioning the Acts which it expressly repeals, the presumption against implied repeal of other laws is further strengthened on the principle of expressio unius (personae vel rei) est exclusio alterius.
