Answer 1

Answer:

C. Omission of prior recommendation doesn't invalidate law if essent is given.

• Article 255 of the Indian Constitution deals with the requirement of previous sanction not necessary for the exercise of legislative powers.

• It states that no Act of Parliament or of the Legislature of a State, and no provision in any such Act, shall be invalid merely because of omission of a requirement that a Bill or amendment shall be introduced or moved only on the recommendation of the President or the Governor, as the case may be.
