2002 (2) TMI 1101 - SUPREME COURT
Once the old rule has been deleted or repealed and substituted by a new rule, whether the old rule would revive when the substituted rule ceased to be operative?
Whether the 1952 rule had revived after the 1955 rule was struck down?
Held that:- Appeal allowed. A perusal of section 20 shows that several provisions of Uttar Pradesh General Clauses Act have been made applicable in relation to statutory instruments including the statutory rules issued under the Uttar Pradesh Act. However, section 6-C does not find place in sub-section (2) of section 20 of the U.P. General Clauses Act. In absence of application of section 6-C to the statutory instrument, including the statutory rule, which is the case before us, the contention of the respondents deserves to be rejected. Since section 6-C of the U.P. General Clauses Act has not been applied to the statutory rule framed by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, the substituted rule after it became inoperative, old rule 49 would not revive.
