Article 169 of the Indian Constitution allows for the creation or abolition of the Legislative Council in a state.

  • The process involves:
    1. The State Legislative Assembly passing a resolution by a special majority (i.e., a majority of the total membership and not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting).
    2. The resolution is then sent to Parliament.
    3. Parliament, by passing a law, can approve the creation or abolition of the Legislative Council.

Thus, while Parliament has the final authority, it can only act after the state assembly initiates the process through a resolution.
