Discussion
Under the Constitution of India, Parliament enacts legislation to implement India's obligations under an international environmental agreement. The subject ordinarily falls within the State List and no resolution under Article 252 has been passed. The source of Parliament's competence would be :
Answer: C
The source of competence is Article 253.
Article 253 lets Parliament make any law for the whole or any part of India to implement any treaty, agreement or convention with other countries, or any decision made at an international conference or body, notwithstanding anything in the earlier distribution of legislative powers. That is why Parliament can legislate on a State List subject when it is implementing an international obligation.
Article 252 needs resolutions by two or more State Legislatures, which the stem says were not passed. Article 249 needs a Rajya Sabha resolution in the national interest, and Article 250 operates only while a Proclamation of Emergency is in force.
