Section 6 of The Suits Valuation Act, 1887

On and from the date on which rules under section 3 take effect in any part of the territories under the administration of the Governor of Fort Saint George in Council to which the Madras Civil Courts Act, 1873, (3 of 1873), extends, section 14 of that Act shall be repealed as regards that part of those territories.

Summary

Section 6 of the Suits Valuation Act, 1887, repeals section 14 of the Madras Civil Courts Act, 1873.
This repeal only applies in the regions under the administration of the Governor of Fort Saint George in Council where the Madras Act is active.
The repeal does not happen immediately, but instead takes effect on the specific date when new land valuation rules under section 3 of this Act are implemented in that area.

Practical examples

1In November 1889, the regional administration of Fort Saint George published new land valuation rules for District A. On that very day, section 14 of the Madras Civil Courts Act stopped applying to lawsuits in District A.

2Dev, a landowner in Madras, files a property suit in early 1888 before any rules under section 3 have been enacted. In this case, the old section 14 of the Madras Civil Courts Act, 1873, still governs his case because the repeal hasn't been triggered yet.
