\nThe correct answer is D) Fisheries.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe legislative powers are divided between the Union and States according to the Seventh Schedule. Subjects in the Union List are exclusively for Parliament, subjects in the State List are primarily for State Legislatures, and subjects in the Concurrent List are for both. Fisheries is listed in the State List (Entry 21). Insurance (Entry 47), Railways (Entry 22), and Banking (Entry 45) are listed in the Union List. Parliament has exclusive power to legislate on Union List subjects throughout India. State Legislatures have exclusive power to legislate on State List subjects within their state. However, under Article 246(4), Parliament has the power to make laws with respect to any matter for any part of the territory of India not included in a State (i.e., Union Territories), even if that matter is enumerated in the State List. Therefore, Parliament ordinarily cannot make laws on Fisheries for a State, but it can make laws on Fisheries for a Union Territory.
\n<\/section>\n
\nParliament can legislate on State List subjects for states under certain exceptional circumstances too, such as when the Rajya Sabha passes a resolution (Article 249), during a National Emergency (Article 250), when states consent (Article 252), to implement international treaties (Article 253), or during President’s rule (Article 356). However, the question refers to the normal power “except for a Union Territory”, highlighting a subject ordinarily restricted to states but fully under Parliament’s power for UTs.
