Repealed statute

When a statute repeals an earlier statute and it was an unqualified repeal, then the effect of such repeal was that the earlier statute got repealed in its entirety

However, where the Legislature intended to preserve any power or inchoate right in relation to the repealed statute, then a saving clause was incorporated in the repealing statute whereby certain provisions were preserved from getting repealed to the extent and with regard to the subject mentioned in the saving clause

Provisions of the repealed law that were so preserved were to be regarded as if the repealed statute was still in operation.
