The Indian Parliament can make laws on subjects enumerated in the State List if:
-
A.
There is a national emergency
-
B.
Two or more states request it
-
C.
The Rajya Sabha passes a resolution
-
D.
All of the above
Correct Answer:
D. All of the above
Explanation:
The Indian Parliament is empowered to legislate on matters within the State List under several specific conditions defined by the Constitution. According to Article 249, the Rajya Sabha can authorize Parliament to legislate in the national interest by passing a resolution with a two-thirds majority. Article 250 allows Parliament to make laws on State List subjects while a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation. Additionally, Article 252 states that if the legislatures of two or more states pass resolutions requesting Parliament to regulate a matter, Parliament may do so for those states. Since all the provided conditions—a national emergency, a request by two or more states, and a resolution by the Rajya Sabha—are valid legal grounds, the correct answer is all of the above.
