Example of State and Center dispute and the supreme court handling it
Answers
Explanation:
The Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction to hear disputes between different states -- meaning that no other federal court can hear such a dispute. An example of such a case is the 1998 case of State of New Jersey v. State of New York
Answer:
Federalism, a significant part of our democratic structure, derives its authority from Article 245- 263 of the Indian Constitution. Under the said articles, the power between Centre and State is explicitly demarcated into legislative, administrative and financial functions.
Furthermore, the 7th Schedule of the Constitution is sub-divided into three lists- Union List, State List and Concurrent List, which gives comprehensive details on the law-making power of the Parliament and the State Assemblies.
Despite such clear-cut divisions, the issue of Centre-State disputes has been a perennial one.
Mostly, such disputes arise when the Centre encroaches upon State’s power by making laws on matters that fall under the State list or when Centre passes any other laws, which affects the legal or Constitutional Rights of the State.
