Answer : D

Explanation : The President is empowered to declare an area to be a scheduled area. He can also increase or decrease its area, alter its boundary lines, rescind such designation or make fresh orders for such designation on an area in consultation with the Governor of the state concerned. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.

Each state having scheduled Areas has to establish a tribes advisory council to advise on welfare and advancement of the scheduled tribes. It is to consist of 20 members, three-fourths of whom are to be the Representatives of the scheduled tribes in the state Legislative assembly. A similar council can be Established in a state having scheduled tribes but not Scheduled areas therein, if the president so directs. Hence, Statement 2 is also correct

The Governor is empowered to direct that any particular act of Parliament or The state legislature does not apply to a scheduled area or apply with specified modifications and exceptions. Hence Statement 3 is also correct.

Therefore, answer is D.

Answer : B

Explanation :

The President can promulgate an ordinance only when both Houses of Parliament are not in session or when either of the two Houses of Parliament is not in session. Additionally, an ordinance can be issued when only one House is in session, as a law requires passage by both Houses, not just one. However, an ordinance made when both Houses are in session is considered void. Therefore, the President's power to legislate by ordinance is not a parallel power of legislation. Hence , Statement 2 is incorrect.

The rules of Lok Sabha requires that whenever a bill seeking to replace an ordinance is introduced in the House, a statement explaining the circumstances that had necessitated immediately legislation by ordinance should also be placed before the house. Hence, Statement 3 is also not correct.

His ordinance-making power is coextensive as regards all matters except duration, with the law-making powers of the Parliament. This has two implications:

(a) An ordinance can be issued only on those subjects on which the Parliament can make laws.
(b) An ordinance is subject to the same constitutional limitation as An act of Parliament. Hence, an ordinance cannot abridge or take away any of the fundamental rights Hence, Statement 1 is correct

Therefore, correct answer is option B.

Answer : D

Explanation : Both provisions are dealt with the Representation of peoples act, 1951.

The Constitution has not fixed the term of office of members of The Rajya Sabha and left it to the Parliament. Accordingly, the Parliament in the Representation of the Peoples Act (1951) Provided that the term of office of a member of the Rajya Sabha Shall be six years. The act also empowered the President of India to curtail the term of members chosen in the first Rajya Sabha. Hence, Statement 1 is not correct.

The Parliament has laid down the following additional qualifications in the Representation of People Act (1951).

A candidate must be registered as an elector for a parliamentary constituency. This requirement is same for both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. The requirement that a candidate contesting election to the Rajya Sabha from a particular state should be an elector in that particular state was dispensed with in 2003. In 2006, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of this change. Hence, statement 2 is also not correct.

Answer : A

Explanation :

The Constitution also lays down that a person shall be disqualified From being a member of Parliament if he is so disqualified on the Ground of defection under the provisions of the Tenth Schedule. A Member incurs disqualification under the defection law:

1. If he voluntarily gives up the membership of the political party On whose ticket he is elected to the House;
2. If he votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to Any direction given by his political party;
3. If any independently elected member joins any political Party; and
4. If any nominated member joins any political party after the Expiry of six months. Hence, Statement 1 and 2 both are correct.

However, 3rd statement comes under Representation of people act 1951.

The Parliament has laid down the following additional disqualifications in the Representation of People Act (1951):

1. He must not have been found guilty of certain election offences or corrupt practices in the elections.
2. He must not have been convicted for any offence resulting in imprisonment for two or more years. But, the detention of a Person under a preventive detention law is not a Disqualification. Hence, Statement 3 is not correct

Therefore, answer is A .

Answer : D

Explanation :

If the Rajya Sabha declares that it is necessary in the national interest for Parliament to make laws on a matter in the State List, such as goods and services tax, then Parliament becomes competent to make laws on that matter. To pass such a resolution, it must be supported by at least two-thirds of the members present and voting. The resolution remains effective for one year and can be renewed any number of times, but not exceeding one year at a time.The laws enacted under this provision cease to have effect six months after the resolution has ceased to be in force. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.

-The Parliament acquires the power to legislate with respect to goods And Services tax or matters in the State List, while a proclamation of national emergency is in operation. The laws become inoperative on the expiration of six months after the emergency has ceased to operate. Here also, the power of a state legislature to make laws on the same matter is not restricted. But, in case of repugnancy between a state law and a parliamentary law, the latter is to prevail. Hence, Statement 2 is also correct.

When the legislatures of two or more states pass resolutions requesting the Parliament to enact laws on a matter in the State List, Then the Parliament can make laws for regulating that matter. A law so enacted applies only to those states which have passed the resolutions. However, any other state may adopt it afterwards by passing a resolution to that effect in its legislature. Such a law can be Amended or repealed only by the Parliament and not by the Legislatures of the concerned state. Hence statement 3 is also correct.

The Parliament can make laws on any matter in the State List for Implementing the international treaties, agreements or conventions. This provision enables the Central government to fulfil its international Obligations and commitments. Hence , Statement 4 is also correct.

When the President’s rule is imposed in a state, The Parliament becomes empowered to make laws with respect to any matter in the State List in relation to that state. A law made so by the Parliament Continues to be operative even after the president’s rule. This means That the period for which such law remains in force is not Coterminous with the duration of the President's rule. But, such a law can be repealed or altered or re-enacted by the state legislature. Hence , Statement 5 is also correct.

Therefore, All options are correct.
