Which legislative bodies are responsible for creating laws specific to each state in India?

The legislative bodies responsible for creating laws specific to each state in India are the State Assemblies. Each state in India has its own legislative assembly, which is empowered to enact laws on a wide range of subjects as delineated by the Constitution of India. These subjects are primarily included in the State List of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, allowing state legislatures to create, amend, or repeal laws that cater to the local needs and circumstances of the states.

The State Assemblies play a vital role in the governance of states, addressing local issues and governance matters that may differ from one state to another. This decentralized approach enables more tailored legislative responses that better fit the diverse population and geography of India.

In contrast, while the Parliament is responsible for national laws, it does not create laws specific to individual states. The Federal Court and Constitutional courts do not create laws; instead, they interpret laws and adjudicate legal disputes. Hence, the authority to make state-specific laws lies firmly with the State Assemblies.
