The Repealing and Amending Act, 2025 (Act No. 37 of 2025) (“R&A Act”) represents Parliament’s continued effort to simplify India’s statutory framework by repealing obsolete enactments and modernising select procedural provisions. While largely technical in character, the R&A Act carries important implications for civil litigation, commercial dispute resolution, and regulatory clarity. This article analyses the scope and effect of the repeals under the First Schedule and evaluates the substantive significance of the amendments introduced under the Second Schedule, particularly in relation to service of process, succession law, and disaster governance.
