What are the powers of the Legislative Assembly according to this Constitution?
The powers of the Legislative Assembly according to this Constitution are as follows:
1. Make laws for the whole or any part of the National Capital Territory with respect to any of the matters enumerated in the State List or in the Concurrent List, except for certain specified entries (1, 2, and 18 of the State List, and 64, 65, and 66 of that List insofar as they relate to Entries 1, 2, and 18).
2. This power is subject to any other provisions of this Constitution, which means it may be limited or modified by other parts of the Constitution.
3. The Assembly's power to make laws cannot infringe upon Parliament's authority under the Constitution to create laws for Union territories.
4. If a law made by the Legislative Assembly is in conflict with a law made by Parliament (or an earlier law), then the Parliamentary or earlier law will prevail and the Assembly's law will be void, except when it has been reserved for Presidential consideration and received his assent. Even so, Parliament retains the power to enact laws on the same matter at any time, including adding to, amending, varying, or repealing the law made by the Legislative Assembly.
