https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=280159 An amendment to the First Schedule of the Code of Criminal Procedure shifting specified offences from the Magistrate of the First Class to the Court of Sessions was held not to affect cases already pending before the Magistrate on the date of publication, because the amendment contained no express saving or transfer provision for pending matters. The settled principle applied was that a change in forum does not disturb pending proceedings unless the statute clearly so provides.
