This document discusses the expiration of temporary statutes. It notes that statutes can be either perpetual or temporary. Temporary statutes expire after a specified time. The provisions of Section 6 of the General Clauses Act, which deals with the effect of repeals, do not apply to temporary acts. When a temporary statute expires, any legal proceedings under it typically end as well. Notifications, appointments, and rules issued under the expired act also end. However, the statute is not completely invalidated - people can still serve out sentences for violations that occurred while the act was in force. Any vested rights or offenses that can be tried in ordinary courts may also still be addressed after expiration.
