    D Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ● Statement 1 is incorrect: Constitution puts territorial limitations on the legislative powers vested in the Centre and the States in the following way: Only the Parliament can make 'extraterritorial legislation'. Hence, the laws of the Parliament are also applicable to the Indian citizens and their property in any part of the world. The Parliament also can make laws for the whole or any part of the territory of India. The territory of India includes the Union Territories, States, and any other area for the time being included in the territory of India. ● Statement 2 is incorrect: A State Legislature empowered to make laws for the whole or any part of the State. The laws made by a State Legislature are not applicable outside the area of the State, except when there is a sufficient nexus between the State and the object.
