Constitution Section 313 — Transitional provisions

Part XIV — SERVICES UNDER THE UNION AND THE STATES — CHAPTER I.— SERVICES

Administrative Law

Summary

Until the Constitution makes new rules on this matter, all laws that were in effect just before the Constitution came into force and that apply to any public service or post that still exists after that date—whether as an all-India service or as a service or post under the Union or a State—will remain in effect, as long as they do not conflict with the Constitution.

Official Text

Until other provision is made in this behalf under this Constitution, all the laws in force immediately before the commencement of this Constitution and applicable to any public service or any post which continues to exist after the commencement of this Constitution, as an all-India service or as service or post under the Union or a State shall continue in force so far as consistent with the provisions of this Constitution.
