The correct answer is (a). Article 261 of the Constitution of India provides that “Full faith and credit shall be given throughout the territory of India to public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of the Union and of every State.” This means that the laws, records, and court decisions of one state are valid in all other states. This is important for ensuring that people can move freely between states and that businesses can operate without having to worry about different laws in different states.
Article 260 of the Constitution of India provides that “The executive power of the Union shall extend to the giving of such directions to any State as may be necessary for the purpose of this Constitution.” This means that the central government can give orders to the state governments, but it does not mean that the central government has to give full faith and credit to the laws, records, and court decisions of the state governments.
Article 32 (3) of the Constitution of India provides that “The Supreme Court may issue directions, orders or writs, including writs in the nature of habeas corpus, certiorari, mandamus, quo warranto and prohibition, whichever may be appropriate, for the enforcement of any of the rights conferred by this Part.” This means that the Supreme Court can issue orders to the central government and the state governments to enforce the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. However, Article 32 (3) does not specifically mention the giving of full faith and credit to the laws, records, and court decisions of the Union and the states.
Article 226 (2) of the Constitution of India provides that “The High Court may issue to any person or authority, including the Government, within its jurisdiction, directions, orders or writs, including writs in the nature of habeas corpus, certiorari, mandamus, quo warranto and prohibition, whichever may be appropriate, for the enforcement of any of the rights conferred by this Part.” This means that the High Courts can issue orders to the central government, the state governments, and other authorities within their jurisdiction to enforce the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. However, Article 226 (2) does not specifically mention the giving of full faith and credit to the laws, records, and court decisions of the Union and the states.
In conclusion, the correct answer is (a). Article 261 of the Constitution of India provides that “Full faith and credit shall be given throughout the territory of India to public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of the Union and of every State.” This means that the laws, records, and court decisions of one state are valid in all other states. This is important for ensuring that people can move freely between states and that businesses can operate without having to worry about different laws in different states.
