Q. With reference to the Doctrine of Territorial Nexus, consider the following:

1. A state law may operate extraterritorially if there is a sufficient connection with the state.
2. The doctrine validates laws having a nexus between the object of legislation and the state.
3. It applies only to Parliament and not to State legislatures.
4. The principle was upheld in State of Bombay v. R.M.D. Chamarbaugwala (1957).

Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Only 1, 2 and 4
Notes: The Doctrine of Territorial Nexus allows a state law to have extraterritorial effect if a substantial connection exists between the subject and the state (Statements 1 and 2). It is not limited to Parliament; it applies to both the Parliament and State legislatures, making Statement 3 incorrect. The principle was upheld in State of Bombay v. R.M.D. Chamarbaugwala (Statement 4 is correct).
