Their doubts and difficulties were cleared in the light of the Order regarding removal of difficulties. It was discussed that any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or inquired under the repealed State Laws shall be governed in accordance with the provisions of the repealed Act irrespective of the application of Central Laws.
