Option 2 : Recruiting soldiers in the Indian army
- The Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India defines and specifies the allocation of powers and functions between the Union & States.
- It contains three lists; i.e. 1) Union List, 2) State List and 3) Concurrent List.
- The State Legislature can make laws on the subjects of the State List and the Concurrent List.
- It can enact any bill on any subject of State List, which becomes an Act with the signatures of the Governor.
- Recruiting soldiers in the Indian army is the Central subject, so state legislature bodies cannot decide on it.
- Each state has a legislative assembly. A state legislature that has one house - State Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) - is unicameral.
- A state legislature that has two houses - the State Legislative assembly and State Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) - is bicameral.
Hence, The State legislature body cannot take decisions on recruiting in the Indian army.
