What is the significance of Part B of the First Schedule in determining the jurisdiction of courts, authorities, and officers under Article 136?
The significance of Part B of the First Schedule in determining the jurisdiction of courts, authorities, and officers under Article 136 is that it specifies which states are subject to the jurisdiction of the authority functioning as the Privy Council for entertaining and disposing of appeals and petitions from or in respect of any judgment, decree, or order of any court within that state. At the commencement of this constitution, the jurisdiction of the said authority ceases, and all pending appeals and other proceedings are transferred to and disposed of by the Supreme Court.
