Summary

This provision makes sure that government actions related to the 2016 changes to the industry list are considered legally valid.
It protects these past actions even if a court or tribunal had previously ruled against them.
It treats the 2016 amendment as if it had always been part of the law from the beginning.
It prevents people from starting new lawsuits to challenge these specific validated powers.

Practical examples

1In 2015, the Central Government issued a strict order to a large alcohol distillery. The company argued in court that the government lacked authority over them at that time. Section 29E ensures that the government's action is now seen as legally correct, regardless of that old dispute.

2A state authority took over the management of a factory before May 2016. The factory owners claimed this was illegal because the industry list had not been updated yet. Section 29E confirms that the takeover was valid as if the updated list existed back then.
