Solution
No, the High Court cannot declare any Central law to be constitutionally invalid.
According to the Constitution of India, only the Supreme Court has the authority to decide whether a Central law is constitutional or not.
The High Courts can, however, declare State laws invalid if they violate the Constitution, but they do not have the power to strike down laws made by Parliament.
