The Court held that the Howrah provision was an adapted text, not the unmodified Calcutta provision, and therefore remained in force because the later repeal did not expressly or by necessary implication apply to the modified form. The municipal licence requirement therefore continued to operate in Howrah, and the respondent's conviction under the municipal law was sustained, although the sentence was not enhanced. en-us Mon, 26 Mar 1962 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 May 2016 17:06:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182790 Section 38 of the West Bengal Fire Services Act, 1950 did not repeal section 386 of the Calcutta Municipal Act, 1923 as modified and extended to Howrah.
