The Indian union is in sense federal but the extent of federalism largely depends upon the need of the development of the country which is of national importance. The circumstances of the situation should be taken into consideration to decide upon when to work on federal or unitary plane. Now the question that arises is whether the court or the central government itself decide about the requirement of the situation.
