पर्याय

• The State Law prevails.

• The Union Law prevails.

• A Bill is introduced in Parliament.

• The President decides which Law will prevail.

Answer 1

The Union Law prevails.

Explanation:

1. Union Law takes priority in a conflict between union and state laws on concurrent list matters.
2. However, if state legislation on a related subject has gained the president's approval, the state law may take priority, but only inside that state.
3. In general, Union Law takes precedence when there is a controversy without such approval.
