Analysis and Conclusion:
The consensus across the sources is that procedural laws are presumed to have retrospective effect unless explicitly stated otherwise. They apply to ongoing cases and pending proceedings, facilitating legal reforms without disrupting settled rights. However, they do not affect final judgments or substantive rights. Courts emphasize that procedural law changes should be applied prospectively when they impact vested or substantive rights, maintaining fairness and legal certainty.
