Explain the concept of 'Article 31A' mentioned in the context.
Article 31A is a constitutional provision that protects certain laws and regulations from being declared void or invalid on the grounds of being inconsistent with, or taking away or abridging any rights conferred by Part III of the Constitution, which deals with Fundamental Rights. It validates specified Acts and Regulations listed in the Ninth Schedule, ensuring that they continue to remain in force despite any court rulings or decrees stating otherwise. The power to repeal or amend these laws still lies with the competent Legislature.
