The power to make laws on subjects not mentioned in the Union, State, or Concurrent lists rests with:
-
A.
Parliament
-
B.
State Legislatures
-
C.
Supreme Court
-
D.
Local Government
Correct Answer:
A. Parliament
Explanation:
Under Article 248 of the Indian Constitution, the Parliament holds exclusive jurisdiction over residuary powers. This means that any legislative subject not specifically listed in the Union List (List I), State List (List II), or Concurrent List (List III) falls under the authority of the central government. This provision ensures that the legal system can adapt to new or unforeseen issues that were not accounted for when the Constitution was originally drafted, maintaining national legislative uniformity. Therefore, the power to legislate on such subjects rests solely with the Parliament.
