List of Indian subnational flags

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
(Redirected from List of Indian flags)

The Federalised National Flag of Republic of India.

At present there are No Officially Recognised Subnational flags for individual States and Union territories of Republic of India. No legal prohibitions to prevent states adopting distinctive flags exist in either the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950 or the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.[1] In a 1994 case before the Supreme Court of India, S. R. Bommai v. Union of India, the Supreme Court declared that there is no prohibition in the Constitution of India for a state to have its own flag. However, a state flag should not dishonour the national flag.[2] The Flag code of India also permits other flags to be flown with the Flag of Republic of India, but not on the same flag pole or in a superior position to the national flag.[3]

Former Officialised State flags

The So-called State of Jammu and Kashmir (state) had an officially recognised state flag between 1952 and 2019 under the annexation special held-status granted to the state according to the rescinded Article 370 of the Constitution of India.
