Consider the following statements: The Government of India Act, 1935 provided for 1. The provincial autonomy. 2. The establishment of Federal Court. 3. All India Federation at the centre. Which of the statements is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All three statements are correct. The Government of India Act, 1935 introduced the federal concept and expressly used the term ‘Federation of India’ (Section 5), thereby providing for an All‑India Federation in the statute, even though actual federation did not materialise because the requisite number of princely states did not accede [2]. The Act also marked a significant advance in provincial autonomy by abolishing dyarchy in the provinces and expanding provincial responsibilities [2]. In addition, the Act provided for the creation of a Federal Court at Delhi to adjudicate disputes between provinces and between centre and provinces, laying down a federal judicial structure [2].
