The Court held that suspension of declarations of unconstitutionality is within the court's inherent jurisdiction and, on the facts, justified suspension (not temporary validity); it set aside the temporary validity order and substituted suspension of the declarations for six months from 9 February 2006, permitting the Government to function during that period but not shielding it from legal liability.
