Kishorebhai Khamanchand Goyal vs State Of Gujarat And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's ruling that the Motor Transport Workers Act, 1961 does not impliedly repeal the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948. The Court emphasized the presumption against repeal by implication, citing various precedents including Municipal Council, Palai vs. I.J. Joseph and Northern India Caterers (Private) Ltd. The Court concluded that both statutes can coexist as they operate in different fields, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
