Indian Polity • Parliament & ExecutiveHard
Analyze the interplay between parliamentary legislation and the Sixth Schedule exclusions: When Parliament enacts laws regarding tribal land and customary practices in northeastern states, why is Arunachal Pradesh treated distinctly regarding federal legislative extension compared to states with Autonomous District Councils?
A. Because Arunachal Pradesh lacks Sixth Schedule autonomous councils, requiring central laws to navigate state legislative consultation and specific administrative safeguards under Article 371H✓ Correct Answer
B. Because Parliament has no constitutional jurisdiction to legislate on any subject for Arunachal Pradesh
C. Because all central legislation must be approved by the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
D. Because the Supreme Court has exclusive legislative powers over the state
💡 Solution & Explanation
Parliament holds plenary legislative competence over Arunachal Pradesh, but because the state lacks Sixth Schedule councils, governance relies on state-level legislation, traditional village authorities, and special gubernatorial oversight under Article 371H to protect indigenous interests. Parliament's jurisdiction extends across the country, but administrative sensitivities are balanced through statutory protections like the Inner Line Permit. The Gauhati High Court exercises judicial oversight for the state.
