  1. Who can legislate on those residual matters which are not mentioned in Central/ State/Concurrent lists?
    1. State legislatures exclusively
    2. Parliament alone
    3. Parliament after State legislatures concur
    4. Parliament or State legislatures as adjudicated by the Supreme Court
Correct Option: D

The constitution vests the residuary power, i.e., the power to legislate with respect to any matter not enumerated in any one of the three lists in the union legislatures (Act. 248). It has been left to the courts to determine finally as to whether a particular matter falls under the residuary, power or not.
