- The Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution divides legislative powers between the Union and State governments into three lists: Union List, State List, and Concurrent List. - The Union List contains subjects on which the Union Parliament has exclusive power to legislate. - The State List contains subjects on which the State Legislature has exclusive power to legislate. - The Concurrent List contains subjects on which both the Union Parliament and the State Legislature can legislate, with Union law prevailing in case of conflict. - Entry 18 of the Concurrent List is "Adulteration of foodstuffs and other goods". - Entry 5 of the Concurrent List is "Marriage and divorce; infants and minors; adoption; wills, intestacy and succession; joint family and partition; all matters in respect of which parties in judicial proceedings were immediately before the commencement of this Constitution subject to their personal law". - While "Trade and Commerce" broadly appears in both Union List (Entry 41) and State List (Entry 26), it is not a general subject in the Concurrent List, although related entries like Trade Unions (Entry 22) are present there.
