Religious or social practices of Nagas 2. Naga customary law and procedure 3. Ownership and transfer of land and its resources 4. Boundaries of Nagaland with other states Select the answer using the code given below:

Article 371A of the Constitution of India provides special provisions for the State of Nagaland. According to Article 371A(1)(a), no Act of Parliament shall apply to Nagaland in respect of certain matters unless the Legislative Assembly of Nagaland by a resolution so decides. These matters are:

• Religious or social practices of the Nagas.
• Naga customary law and procedure.
• Administration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to Naga customary law.
• Ownership and transfer of land and its resources.

Item 4 (Boundaries of Nagaland) is not covered under Article 371A. The alteration of state boundaries is governed by Article 3 of the Constitution, which empowers the Parliament to change boundaries after referring the Bill to the concerned State Legislature for its views. Since only items 1, 2, and 3 are listed under the restrictive clause of Article 371A, Option C is the correct answer.
