What role does Parliament play in assigning functions to a State under this provision?
Under this provision, Parliament plays a role in assigning functions to a State by making laws that apply in any State. These laws may confer powers and impose duties upon the State or its officers and authorities, even if they relate to matters where the State Legislature has no power to make laws. The President can entrust these functions to the State government or its officers, either conditionally or unconditionally, with the consent of the State government.
