Statutory text
Bare law
[Repealed.]
Repeal status
India Code marks section 108 as repealed. The chapter and section entries identify the repeal through section 65 of the Indian Sale of Goods Act, 1930 (3 of 1930). The status marker above is taken from the official arrangement of sections.
Which law to consult
For a current sale of goods matter, start with the applicable provisions of the separate Sale of Goods Act, 1930, together with relevant general contract law and other governing enactments. Do not assume that this former section number maps directly to an identically numbered section in the later Act.
Using an older document or judgment
If an older agreement or judgment refers to Contract Act section 108, establish the date, the historical text and any applicable repeal savings before applying it. The current repeal marker alone does not resolve every accrued-right or historical dispute.
Practical reference check
Confirm that the citation really means section 108 of the Indian Contract Act, rather than another Act.
Identify whether the transaction is current or historical and locate the appropriate Sale of Goods Act, 1930 provision.
Ask for advice on any historical savings issue or mismatch between the old reference and the present transaction.
Practical checklist
Do
- Verify the Act name and section 108 in the original citation.
- Use the current governing sale of goods legislation for a present-day issue.
- Check transaction dates and relevant savings for historical matters.
Avoid
- Do not present repealed Contract Act section 108 as a currently operative compliance requirement.
Glossary
- Repealed provision
- A provision marked as repealed in the current central Act source.
- Savings
- Rules that may preserve particular prior rights, liabilities or proceedings despite repeal; their application needs separate checking.

Where should I look for the current subject matter?
Consult the applicable Sale of Goods Act, 1930 provisions and other governing law; do not assume a one-to-one section-number replacement.
