Special provisions limit High Court authority on constitutional validity of State laws: adjudication must be by a minimum bench (five judges where available, or all judges if fewer), a judge disqualified for personal or pecuniary bias is excluded from the count, and a State law can be declared invalid only if the required supermajority of the judges sitting so hold; the provision operates notwithstanding other Part provisions and contains transitional savings for pending cases.
