In simple words

This Part, which contains special provisions about certain High Courts, applies only to High Courts other than the Court of a Judicial Commissioner. The words restricting the Part's application were substituted by the Adaptation of Laws (No. 2) Order, 1956, so the provisions that follow govern only the High Courts so described.
