It provides that nothing in the Sanhita shall affect the provisions of any Act for punishing mutiny and desertion of officers, soldiers, sailors or airmen in the service of the Government of India or the provisions of any special or local law. Both armed-forces disciplinary statutes and special or local laws are therefore preserved.
