Union-State Legislative Synergy

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Focuses on collaboration for concurrent list subjects (e.g., education, criminal law), where both Parliament and state legislatures can legislate. In case of conflict, central law prevails unless states secure presidential assent for specific variations. This synergy ensures a unified legal framework while allowing local nuances. Mechanisms like the Inter-State Council, zonal councils, and consultative committees facilitate discussion to avoid legislative overlap. Sometimes, states pass resolutions requesting Parliament to legislate on state matters for uniform policies (e.g., GST). Effective synergy prevents fragmentation, fosters policy coherence, and balances local autonomy with national interest in India’s quasi-federal system.
