Explanation I interprets the phrase "law passed or made by a Legislature or other competent authority in the territory of India before the commencement of this Constitution and not previously repealed" to include any such law, even if it is not in operation at the time. This means that such laws remain in force, regardless of whether they are currently being applied or only apply to certain areas within the territory of India.
