Statutory text
Bare law
[Omitted.]
Current status and amendment
The official India Code consolidation as on 1 June 2026 records omission by the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act, 2010 (40 of 2010), section 7, with effect from 8 July 2013.
What this means for a business
The former special textile chapter was omitted. Ordinary trade mark provisions and other applicable product or labelling laws must be considered for present business activity. Do not treat this historical provision as a current special textile filing, stamping or sampling requirement.
Historical records and current decisions
The former subject was: Determination of character of textile goods by sampling. An omitted section number remains useful when tracing old records, but it must not be presented as an operative present-day rule.
Hypothetical example: A business finds an old checklist citing this textile provision. It checks the omission date and the actual current laws governing its goods before adopting that checklist.
Practical review steps
Record the dates of the conduct, application, order or proceeding.
Locate the official amendment and any applicable savings or transition provisions.
Identify the currently competent authority and the substantive provisions governing the specific issue.
Practical checklist
Do
- Distinguish an omitted provision from an operative section.
- Keep dated historical records when the old law may matter.
- Check current law and any transition provisions for the particular facts.
Avoid
- Do not use the former textile chapter as a current standalone compliance checklist.
Glossary
- Omitted provision
- A provision removed from the operative text by an amending enactment.
- Transitional issue
- A question about which law or procedure applies to events or proceedings spanning the legislative change.
