\nThe power to create a new state or alter the area, boundaries, or name of an existing state rests with the Parliament of India (Article 3 of the Constitution). While the state legislature concerned is required to express its views on the proposal within a specified period, its role is recommendatory, and the final decision-making power lies solely with the Parliament. Therefore, stating that altering the name of the state is the power of the state legislature is incorrect. Equality before Law (Article 14) is guaranteed to all persons, including citizens and non-citizens. Equality of opportunity in matters of public employment (Article 16) is guaranteed only to citizens.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Parliament has the power to create and change states.
\n– State legislatures provide their views on such proposals but do not have the power to alter the state’s name themselves.
\n– Article 14 applies to ‘any person’, covering both citizens and non-citizens.
\n– Article 16 on public employment applies only to citizens.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe process for altering the name of a state involves a bill being introduced in Parliament on the recommendation of the President. Before recommending the bill, the President refers it to the state legislature concerned for expressing its views within a specified period. Parliament is not bound by these views.
