Law and context
Section 47 repeals the J&K Residential and Commercial Tenancy Act, 2012 and preserves cases and proceedings pending under it at commencement for continuation and disposal under its provisions. The actual case and procedural history must be examined.
Practical next step
Bring the original application, order sheet and latest decision, noting when proceedings began and the law invoked. Ask which provisions govern the current step or challenge.
