Even in the sphere (State List) exclusively reserved for the States, Parliament can legislate under certain circumstances 2. Parliament cannot legislate a subject under the State List under any circumstances 3. A resolution supported by two-, thirds of the members present and voting is required to be passed by Rajya Sabha to pass a law under the State List Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Under the Indian Constitution, while the State List is primarily for state legislatures, Parliament can legislate on these subjects under specific circumstances [4]. Statement 1 is correct as Article 249 allows Parliament to legislate in the national interest, and Article 250 grants this power during a Proclamation of Emergency [2]. Statement 2 is incorrect because multiple provisions (Articles 249, 250, 252, and 253) explicitly empower Parliament to override the State List [3]. Statement 3 is correct because Article 249 specifically requires the Rajya Sabha to pass a resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting to authorize Parliament to legislate on a state subject in the national interest [4]. This mechanism allows for the extension of Parliament's legislative competence without a formal Constitutional amendment [4].
