(1) Subject to any law made by Parliament, the Supreme Court may, with the President's approval, make rules regulating its own practice and procedure, including rules on who can practise before it, appeal procedures, Fundamental Rights enforcement proceedings, review procedures, costs, bail, stay of proceedings, and summary dismissal of frivolous appeals. (2)-(3) These rules can fix the minimum number of Judges for various purposes; deciding a substantial constitutional-interpretation question, or a Presidential Reference under Article 143, requires a minimum bench of five Judges. (4)-(5) Judgments and opinions must be delivered in open Court, with the concurrence of a majority of Judges present, though a dissenting Judge may still deliver a separate dissenting judgment or opinion.
