other hand according to sub-section (3) the provisions of the New Act shall come into force with effect from such date as the State Government may by notification in the Official Gazette appoint. Thus, the former provision provides for extension of the New Act to different areas of the State with effect from such dates as notified by the State Government whereas the later provision provides that the provisions of New Act shall come into force as soon as a date is appointed by the State Government by issuing a notification to that effect. Therefore, merely because the provisions of New Act have not been extended to other Municipal areas of the State, it cannot be said that the Old Act as a whole has not been repealed by sub-section (1) of Section 32 of the New Act and provisions of the same are still applicable to the remaining Municipal areas of the State. Clause (a) of sub-section (3) of Section 32 of the New Act provides that all applications, suits or other proceedings under the Old Act pending on the date of commencement of the New Act before any Court shall be continued and disposed of, in accordance with the provisions of the Old Act, as if the Old Act had continued in force and the New Act had not been enacted. It is therefore, legislative intention is further clear that only pending cases filed under the provisions of the Old Act have been saved and not any other case. If the legislative intention would have been that until the provisions of the New Act are extended or made applicable by the State Government by issuing a notification to such Municipal areas which do not comprise the District Headquarters in the State, the provisions of the Old Act shall continue to apply, it would have specifically provided. In absence of such saving clause it cannot be said that despite repeal of the Old Act, provisions of the same are applicable to remaining Municipal areas of the State.
