\(\text{Column I}\) (List) | \(\text{Column II}\) (Jurisdiction Sphere) |
---|---|
I. Union list subjects | A. State Governments alone make laws on it. |
II. State list subjects | B. For uniformity Central Government Legislates on it. |
III. Concurrent subjects | C. Subjects under Jurisdiction of Centre and State Governments. |
IV. Residuary subjects | D. Central Government legislates on new subjects. |
The correct matching is as follows:
1. Union list subjects (B): These are subjects of national importance, and for uniformity, only the Central Government legislates on them (e.g., defense, foreign affairs).
2. State list subjects (A): These are of local importance, and only the State Governments can legislate on them (e.g., police, public health).
3. Concurrent subjects (C): Both the Centre and State Governments have jurisdiction over these subjects (e.g., education, forests).
4. Residuary subjects (D): Subjects not included in any list are legislated by the Central Government (e.g., cyber laws).
