No, the Supreme Court cannot entertain and dispose of appeals from a State specified in Part B of the First Schedule after the commencement of this Constitution. The jurisdiction of the authority functioning as the Privy Council in such States to entertain and dispose of appeals and petitions ceases on the commencement of the Constitution, and all pending proceedings are transferred to the Supreme Court for disposal.
