From the headnote

Repeal: There is no question of repeal of a statute which ha s been declared unconstitutional by the Court – In Bimolangshu Roy, Assam Act, 2004 was struck down as unconstitutional – The 2012 Act was not the subject matter of consideration in Bimolangshu Roy – Thus, it is well within the competence of the Manipur L egislature to repeal the 2012 Act, which has not been adjudged as unconstitutional by any Court till the Repealing Ac t, 2018 was enacted – Manipur Parliamentary Secretary (Appointme nt, Salary and Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2012 – Assam Parliamentary Secretary
