Meera Beedi Works, which was earlier governed by the Beedi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1966, wants to know its position once the OSH Code, 2020 is brought into force by notification. Which statement is correct?

The 1966 Beedi and Cigar Workers Act stands repealed when the Code is notified, and actions, rules and notifications under it are deemed taken under the Code and stay in force to the extent they are not contrary to it, under section 143.

  1. AThat 1966 Act stands repealed, and actions taken under it remain valid as if taken under the Code to the extent not contrary to itCorrect
  2. BThe 1966 Act continues for beedi establishments alongside the Code
  3. CThe 1966 Act is repealed and all earlier rules and notifications lapse immediately
  4. DOnly the Factories Act, 1948 is repealed; the 1966 Act is untouched

Explanation

Section 143(1)(g) repeals the Beedi and Cigar Workers Act, 1966. Section 143(3) deems anything done under repealed enactments, including rules and notifications, to be done under the Code and to remain in force if not contrary to it. So lapse is wrong, and the Act is not saved.
