Which of the following is included in the concept of 'State' under Article 12 of the Constitution of India?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Article 12 of the Constitution of India, "the State" includes the Government and Parliament of India, the Government and Legislature of each State, and all local or other authorities within India or under the control of the Government of India. The Railway Board is part of the Government, a statutory university is an "other authority", and the judiciary is treated as State when it acts in its administrative or rule-making capacity, so "All of the given options are correct". A judgment given by a court in its judicial capacity, however, cannot be challenged under Article 32 as an act of the State.
