Article 13 states that: All pre-constitutional laws, if in part or completely in conflict with the Constitution, shall have all conflicting provisions deemed ineffective until an amendment to the Constitution ends the conflict In such situation the provision of that law will again come into force, if it is compatible with the constitution as amended.
