When can a State law on a subject in the Concurrent List get precedence over a Central law on the same subject?
Verified Answer
A. In no circumstances
B. If it was made before the Central Law
C. If it had got the President's assent before the enactment of the Central Law
D. If consent of the President was taken before its introduction as a bill in the State legislature
Explanation:
Article 254(2) of the Indian Constitution provides that if a State law on a Concurrent List subject receives the President's assent, it will prevail over a Central law on the same subject, even if the Central law was enacted earlier. This is an exception to the general rule that Central laws prevail over State laws on Concurrent List subjects.
