Parliament Legislate on State List Subjects
Under which of the following circumstances can the Parliament legislate on the subjects in the State list?
1. Rajya Sabha passed a resolution to that effect.
2. Financial emergency
3. President's Rule.
The correct answer is option 'C'.
Explanation:
The Constitution of India has given power to the State Legislature and Parliament to make laws for the country. The State List consists of subjects that are under the jurisdiction of the state government. The Parliament cannot legislate on these subjects unless there is a need for it.
The following circumstances allow the Parliament to legislate on the subjects in the State list:
1. President's Rule: If the President proclaims that there is a breakdown of the constitutional machinery in a state, the Parliament can legislate on the subjects in the State list.
2. Rajya Sabha passed a resolution to that effect: If the Rajya Sabha passes a resolution by a two-thirds majority, it can authorize the Parliament to legislate on a subject in the State list.
3. Financial emergency: If the President proclaims a financial emergency, the Parliament can legislate on the subjects in the State list.
In conclusion, the Parliament can legislate on subjects in the State list only under special circumstances, including President's Rule, a two-thirds majority resolution, and a financial emergency.
