A state in India can be bifurcated
Question and options
A state in India can be bifurcated
- by the Parliament only with the consent of the State Legislature concerned
- by the Parliament with or without the consent of the State Legislature concerned
- by the Parliament only with the consent of the State Government concerned
- by the State Legislature concerned with the approval of the Parliament
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - by the Parliament with or without the consent of the State Legislature concerned
Under Article 3 Parliament can form new States or alter boundaries; the Bill is referred to the State Legislature only for its views, which are not binding. So bifurcation can be done with or without the State Legislature's consent. A State Legislature cannot itself divide the State; only Parliament can, by law.
