Part XI · General

Article 260 Jurisdiction of the Union in relation to territories outside India.

This article covers the Union’s role outside India. The Government of India may by agreement with another territory take on functions for it. These cover the executive, the legislature, and the courts. The agreement must follow any Indian law on foreign jurisdiction. This is how India performs agreed tasks for a neighbour.

1. The Government of India may by agreement with the Government of any territory not being part of the territory of India undertake any executive, legislative or judicial functions vested in the Government of such territory, but every such agreement shall be subject to, and governed by, any law relating to the exercise of foreign jurisdiction for the time being in force.
