Explanation
Article 395 of the Constitution expressly repeals the Government of India Act, 1935 and the Indian Independence Act, 1947 — while explicitly excluding the Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act, 1949 from repeal. The Government of India Act, 1919 had already been superseded by the 1935 Act. Hence only 1 and 2.
