जेव्हा दोन किंवा अधिक राज्यांचे विधिमंडळे राज्य सूचीतील एखाद्या विषयावर संसदेला कायदे करण्याची विनंती करणारा ठराव संमत करतात, तेव्हा संसद त्या विषयावर नियमन करण्यासाठी कायदे करू शकते. खालीलपैकी कोणता कायदा भारतीय संविधानाच्या वरील तरतुदीशी संबंधित नाही ?
(1) बक्षिस स्पर्धा अधिनियम, १९५५
(2) वन्यजीव (संरक्षण) कायदा, १९७२
(3) जल (संरक्षण व प्रदूषण नियंत्रण) कायदा, १९७४
(4) वरीलपैकी नाही

The correct answer is Option D (None of the above).

Key Points:
• Legislation by Parliament for States by Consent (Article 252):
• Under Article 252 of the Constitution, if the legislatures of two or more states pass resolutions requesting Parliament to enact laws on a matter in the State List, Parliament can enact such a law applicable to those consenting states (and any other state that subsequently adopts it).
• Prominent acts passed by Parliament under Article 252 include:
• 1. Prize Competitions Act, 1955 (passed at the request of Andhra, Bombay, Madras, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, etc.)
• 2. Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 (passed when Wildlife was in the State List, requested by Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, MP, Rajasthan, West Bengal)
• 3. Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (requested by Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, MP, Rajasthan, West Bengal)
• 4. Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976; Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994.
• Because all three acts listed are indeed passed under Article 252, none of them is unrelated.
• Hence, Option (4) None of the above is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: Prize Competitions Act 1955, Wildlife Act 1972, and Water Act 1974 were all enacted by Parliament under Article 252.
