For example, the anti-terror legislation<strong> Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act 1987, commonly known as TADA,<\/strong> had a sunset clause, and was allowed to lapse in 1995.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For laws that do not have a sunset clause, Parliament has to pass another legislation to repeal the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>How can the Government repeal a law?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Article 245 of the Constitution<\/strong> gives Parliament the power to make laws for the whole or any part of India, and state legislatures the power to make laws for the state. Parliament draws its power to repeal a law from the same provision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What is the process for repealing a law?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laws can be repealed in two ways \u2014 either through an ordinance or through legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ordinance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In case an ordinance is used, it would need to be replaced by a law passed by Parliament within six months. If the ordinance lapses because it is not approved by Parliament, the repealed law can be revived.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Legislation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government can also bring legislation to repeal the farm laws. It will have to be passed by both Houses of Parliament, and receive the President\u2019s assent before it comes into effect. Usually, Bills titled Repealing and Amendment are introduced for this purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Source:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This post is based on the article<\/span><b> \u201c<\/b><b>Explained: The process for repealing a law<\/b><b>\u201d <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">published by <\/span><b>Indian Express <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on <\/span><b>19th Nov 2021.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the News?
