Constitutional Basis for State Formation

  • Article 3 of the Constitution empowers Parliament to create a new State by separating territory from an existing State or by uniting territories of States.

  • Article 3 also covers:

    • Increase or reduction of the area of a State.
    • Alteration of State boundaries.
    • Change of the name of a State.

  • The Union Parliament has the decisive legislative power; the concerned State Legislature only expresses its views.

  • A Bill under Article 3 requires the recommendation of the President before introduction in either House of Parliament.

  • When the Bill affects the area, boundaries or name of a State, the President refers it to the concerned State Legislature for expressing its views within the specified period.

  • The State Legislature's opinion is not binding on Parliament.

  • The Andhra Pradesh Legislature opposed the Telangana Bill, but Parliament proceeded with the legislation.

  • A law made under Articles 2 and 3 is not treated as a constitutional amendment for Article 368 purposes.

  • The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation legislation was therefore enacted through the Article 3 route rather than the special-majority procedure under Article 368.
