- Statement A: Article 248(1) of the Constitution of India explicitly states that "Parliament has exclusive power to make any law with respect to any matter not enumerated in the Concurrent List or State List." This confirms that residuary powers of legislation are included in Article 248. Thus, Statement A is correct. - Statement B: Residuary powers refer to the power to legislate on matters not included in any of the three lists (Union List, State List, Concurrent List) of the Seventh Schedule. Article 248 grants this exclusive power to the Union Parliament. This means the Union Parliament has the exclusive authority to make laws on any subject that does not fall under the domain of the State List or the Concurrent List. Thus, Statement B is correct.
