Article 243-O of the Constitution bars courts from interfering in electoral matters related to Panchayats. Which of the following is NOT covered by this bar?

Article 243-O bars courts from interfering in electoral matters of Panchayats such as the validity of laws relating to delimitation, allotment of seats, and elections once begun or after petitions are filed. However, this bar operates within the framework of Part IX. A challenge to the constitutional validity of Part IX itself, being a constitutional question regarding the vires of the amendment that inserted these provisions, falls outside this bar. The Supreme Court has consistently held that bars on jurisdiction cannot preclude challenges to the constitutional validity of the provisions themselves, as such challenges go to the root of legislative competence.
