(1) Where the Central Government is satisfied that the purpose for which the Claims Commission was established has served its purpose, or where the number of cases pending before such Claims Commission is so less that it would not justify the cost of its continued function, or where it considers necessary or expedient so to do, the Central Government may, by notification, dissolve the Claims Commission.
(2) With effect from the dissolution of the Claims Commission,—
(a) the proceedings, if any, pending before the Claims Commission as on the date of such dissolution, shall be transferred to the Claims Commissioner;
(b) the Chairperson and all Members of the Claims Commission shall be deemed to have vacated their offices as such and they shall not be entitled to any compensation for premature termination of their office;
(c) all assets and liabilities of the Claims Commission shall vest in the Central Government.
(3) Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Claims Commission under sub-section (1), anything done or any action taken or purported to have been done or taken including any order made or notice issued or any appointment, confirmation or declaration made or any document or instrument executed or any direction given by the Claims Commission before such dissolution, shall be deemed to have been validly done or taken under this Act.
