Discussion
Consider the following statements :
1. The Sixth Schedule has conferred the District Councils the power to constitute Village Councils or courts for the trial of cases between persons belonging to Scheduled Tribes.
2. The Sixth Schedule has recognised the power of the District Councils to impose certain specified taxes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Answer: C
Both statements are correct, so the answer is Both 1 and 2.
The Sixth Schedule governs the tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram through autonomous District Councils. Paragraph 4 empowers a District Council to constitute village councils or courts to try suits and cases between parties who all belong to Scheduled Tribes within its area (1).
Paragraph 8 empowers District Councils to assess and collect land revenue and to levy specified taxes, such as taxes on professions, trades and employment, on animals and vehicles, and on entry of goods into a market (2). So 'Only 1', 'Only 2' and 'Neither' are all wrong.
