Under the Constitution, the residuary powers of legislation rest with
AConstitutional courts
BState legislatures
CThe Union Parliament — Article 248 read with Entry 97 of List I
DLocal self-government bodies
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The Union Parliament — Article 248 read with Entry 97 of List I
Residuary subjects (not in any of the three Lists of Schedule VII) are vested in the Union under Article 248. Indian federalism is thus 'Union-leaning', unlike the US where residuary subjects rest with the States.
