There is no longer any legal effect from Article 278. It was a placeholder for previous commissions and committees of inquiry that have been deleted from the constitution. You should not rely on this article for any rights or obligations. The government cannot use this article to create any commission or committee today.

<del>Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution to the contrary, any commission or committee of inquiry in existence immediately before the coming into force of this Constitution may continue in existence until the submission of its report unless otherwise dissolved in accordance with the law.</del>

Article 278 (repealed) allowed existing commissions and committees of inquiry to continue operating until they submit their reports, unless legally dissolved.
