# Section 6A — Repeal of Act Making Textual Amendment
## Scenario Setup
Imagine Act A is amended by Act B (which inserts, omits, or substitutes text in Act A). Later, Act B itself is repealed by Act C.
Question: Does the repeal of Act B undo the amendment it made to Act A?
## The Rule
No. Where a Central Act or Regulation repeals any Act by which the text of any other Central Act/Regulation was amended (by express omission, insertion or substitution), the repeal shall not affect the continuance of that amendment if it was in operation at the time of the repeal.
## Visual Flow
```
Act A ──amended by──▶ Act B (textual amendment to Act A)
│
▼
Act C repeals Act B
│
▼
Amendment made to Act A SURVIVES ✓
```
## Why This Rule Exists
A textual amendment becomes part and parcel of the original Act. Once merged, the amending Act has done its job — it is a "spent" provision. Repealing the amending Act does not magically restore the pre-amended text of the principal Act.
