How does the transfer of pending appeals impact the functioning of courts within the States specified in Part B of the First Schedule?
The transfer of pending appeals from the Privy Council to the Supreme Court impacts the functioning of courts within the States specified in Part B of the First Schedule by removing their jurisdiction over these cases, as per the provisions of the Constitution. This means that courts within those states can no longer entertain and dispose of such appeals and petitions, and all pending cases are transferred to the Supreme Court for disposal.
