Q. In which of the following circumstances, the parliament can make laws on state subjects?
  1. In National Interest under article 249
  2. During a national emergency in operation
  3. On passing a resolution by Rajya Sabha by special majority
Select the correct answer from the codes given below:

Answer: 1, 2 & 3
Notes: Article 249 allows Parliament to legislate on State List matters in national interest. Article 250 permits legislation on State List matters during a National Emergency. The Rajya Sabha can authorize Parliament to legislate on State subjects with a 2/3rd majority of members present and voting. Public order, land, and police are state subjects, but the 69th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1991 restricts the Delhi government from legislating on these areas.
