..... the very provisions of clauses (k) and (n) of article 371f, inserted by the constitution (thirty-sixth amendment) act, 1975, whereunder sikkim was incorporated in the union of india, would go to show that even in spite of and notwithstanding such incorporation, the laws, that were in force in sikkim immediately before such incorporation were, under the provisions of clause (k), to continue as before until altered or repealed by competent authority, but the president was empowered under clause (n) to extend by proper notifications enactments operating in other states to the state of sikkim. ..... moulik, the learned counsel for the petitioner in the second case, has, however, urged that as the code of 1973, under section 1(2) thereof, extends to the whole of india (except the state of jammu & kashmir), it would not only apply to the territories comprised in india at the date of the enactment of the code, but would also automatically apply to all such territories as may subsequently be comprised in the union of india. ..... 149 where it was observed by the judicial committee (at 152) that 'in this country it is accepted that where a statute is incorporated by reference into a second statute, the repeal of the first statute does not affect the second'. .....
