In India, Parliament has the authority to make and amend the laws at the central level. At the state level, this power is with the state legislatures.
For understanding the division of legislative powers(i.e. law making and law amending powers) between Union and the States, you have to understand the framework provided in the Constitution of India.
The Constitution of India is the Supreme law of the country. It is the document which bestows Fundamental Rights and also provides the right to go to Supreme and High Courts. This document has prescribed the division of legislative powers between the Centre and the States. The Constitution has various schedules attached to it out of which Schedule VII deals with the lists. There are three lists in this schedule i.e. the Union List, State List and Concurrent List.
Now what is the significance of these lists?
Union List-The Parliament has the exclusive power to make laws regarding those items which are present in the Union list. For example, Railways is an item present in the Union List, so only the Parliament will have the power to make laws regarding Railways.
State List-The State legislature has the exclusive power to make laws regarding those items which are present in the State list. However, such laws will be applicable only within the territory of that particular State. For example, ‘Intoxicating liquors’ is an item of State List, so all States can make regarding it but these laws will apply only within the territory of the particular State. This is the reason why some states such as Gujarat are ‘dry states’ while other are not.
Concurrent List- The distinguishing feature of this list is that both the Parliament and the State legislature have the power to make laws on the items in the Concurrent list. For Example, Criminal law and Marriage laws etc.
One thing which is noteworthy is that Constitution is the Supreme Law of the country. Therefore every law made by Parliament or the State legislatures should confirm to the Constitutional provisions especially to the Fundamental rights. If any law is in violation of the Fundamental Rights, then it can be declared void by the Supreme Court Of India.
Above was a basic understanding of the law making in India. However there are some special situations when the above division of powers is not followed. These situations include the state of Emergency and many others.
Hope this helps.
