Section 262: Repealed partnership provision

Repeal status

India Code marks section 262 as repealed. The chapter and section entries identify the repeal through section 73 and the Second Schedule of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 (9 of 1932). The status marker above is taken from the official arrangement of sections.

• India Code: Contract Act, repeal entry for section 262

Which law to consult

For a current partnership matter, start with the applicable provisions of the separate Indian Partnership Act, 1932, 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 262, 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 262 of the Indian Contract Act, rather than another Act.

Identify whether the transaction is current or historical and locate the appropriate Indian Partnership Act, 1932 provision.

Ask for advice on any historical savings issue or mismatch between the old reference and the present transaction.
