Based on the fact that the Act of 1949 practically reproduces, the earlier Act of 1947 the contention urged before us was that the Act of 1947 was in effect repealed and re enacted 'by the Act of 1949, that by virtue of section 22 of the Punjab General Clauses Act, which runs: "22 Where any Punjab Act is repealed and re enacted with or without modification, then, unless it is otherwise expressly provided, any appointment, notification, order, scheme rule, form or bye law, made or issued under the repealed Act, shall, so far as it is not inconsistent with the provisions reenacted, continue in force, and be deemed to have been made or issued under the provisions so re enacted, unless and until it is superseded by any I appointment, notification, order, scheme, rule, form or bye law made or issued under the provisions so re enacted." the notification issued under the Act of 1947 should be deemed to have been issued under the Act of 1949 and that in consequence the reference to a notification under the Act of 1949 in section 2(d) of the Act of 1951 would include the notification of 1948 made under the Act of 1947.
