Repugnant, really means inconsistent with and when they cannot stand together at the same time and one law is inconsistent with another law when the command or power or provision in the one law conflicted directly with the command or power or provision in the other, Vishnu Battathiripad v. Pule Poulh, 1958 Ker LT 238: ILR 1957 Trav-Co. 670: 1958 Trav-Co. 327 (DB).Repugnant, that which is contrary to what is stated before.

Inconsistent
Inconsistent, 'inconsistent', according to Black's Legal Dictionary, means mutually repugnant or contradictory; contrary, the one to the other so that both cannot stand, but the acceptance or establishment of the one implies the abrogation or abandonment of the other'. So we have to see whether mutual co-existence between s. 34 of the Bonus Act and s. 3(b) of the U.P. Act is impossible. If they relate to the same subject-matter, to the same situation, and both substantially overlap and are co-extensive and at the same time so contrary and repugnant in their terms and impact that one must perish wholly if the other were to prevail at all - then, only then, are they inconsistent, Basti Sugar Mills Co. Ltd. v. State of U.P., AIR 1979 SC 262 (269): (1979) 2 SCC 88: (1979) 1 SCR 590. [U.P. Industrial Disposes Act, 1947, s. 3(b)(c); Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, s. 34]According to Black's Legal Dictionary means 'mutually repugnant or contradictory, contrary, the one to the other so that both c...
Colonial Laws (English)
Colonial Laws (English). The validity of laws passed by colonial legislature is established by the Statute of Westminster, 1931, which enacts, subject to the provisions of the Act, that the Colonial Laws Validity Act, 1865, shall not apply to any law made after December 11th, 1931, by the Parliament of a Dominion. Also that no law made by the Parliament of a Dominion be void on the ground that it is repugnant to the law of England. The Colonial Laws Validity Act, 1865 (28 & 29 Vict. c. 63) enacts that no colonial law shall be void for repugnancy to the law of England, unless it be repugnant to the provisions of some Act of Parliament extending to the colony, or to any Order made under authority of such Act, or having in the colony the force and effect of such Act. In the case of such repugnancy the colonial law shall be void to the extent thereof and not otherwise. By the same Act all colonial legislatures are empowered to establish courts of judicature, and to abolish and reconstitute...
Repeal
Repeal, a revocation or abrogation. Repeal of one act of Parliament by another is either express or implied, the rule being that a later Act repeals a former one if contradictory thereto, Leges posteriores priores contrarias abrogant. By s. 11 of the Inter-pretation Act, 1889, re-enacting s. 5 of Lord Brougham's Act (13 Vict. c. 21), where an Act passed after 1850 repeals a repealing enactment, it does not revive any enactment previously repealed. And by s. 38 of the same Act, where any Act passed after January 1st, 1890, repeals and re-enacts any provisions of a former Act, references in any other Act to the provisions so repealed are to be construed as references to the provisions so re-enacted, as had been already specially provided in the consolidating Public Health Act, 1875, by s. 313, and Factory and Workshop Act, 1878, by s. 102, and see R. v. Minister of Health, Ex p. Villiers, (1936) 2 KB 29.Abrogation of an existing law by legislative act, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p...
