68.(1) The provisions of this Act shall have overriding effect notwithstanding anything contained in any other State law for the time being in force, in so far as the provisions relating to fire prevention and life safety are concerned. (2) Notwithstanding anything contained in any other State law for the time being in force, when anything in relation to the fire prevention and life safety measures is required to be done or approved under this Act, any such thing shall not be deemed to have been unlawfully done or approved by reason only of the fact that permission, approval or sanction required under such other law therefore has not been obtained. (3) The provisions of this Act and the rules made thereunder shall have effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other State law for the time being in force or in any instrument having effect by virtue of any other law. (4) Subject to the provisions of sub-section (3), the provisions of this Act shall be in addition to, and not, save as expressly provided hereinabove, be in derogation of the provisions of any relevant law for the time being in force in any area in which this Act is in force.
