INDIRA SOHANLAL vs CUSTODIAN OF EVACUEE PROPERTY,DELHI & OTHERS.

The Supreme Court held that Section 6 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, does not apply to the case as Section 58(3) of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950, is a self-contained provision indicating the intention to exclude its operation. The Court ruled that the right to a determination with finality does not constitute a vested right until the determination is made. The Court distinguished previous cases and clarified that the repeal of the old law does not affect future operations under the new law, affirming the Custodian-General's authority to revise the Additional Custodian's order.
