1. The Indian Independence Act, 1947.
2. The Government of India Act, 1935, and all enactments amending or supplementing it.
The Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act, 1949 was an enactment supplementing the Government of India Act, 1935 (in matters related to appeals to the Privy Council), and was therefore also repealed by Article 395.
The Government of India Act, 1919 was largely repealed and replaced by the Government of India Act, 1935, and was therefore not directly repealed by Article 395.
