Explanation:
In 2004, the Supreme Court ruled that the “right to fly the national flag freely with respect and dignity is a fundamental right of a citizen within the meaning of Article 191.A. of the Constitution of India, being an expression and manifestation of his allegiance and feelings and sentiments of pride for the nation.” In S.R. Bommai v/s Union of India (Supreme Court 1994) case, the Supreme Court has declared that federalism is a basic feature of the
Constitution and States are supreme in their sphere. This being the Constitutional position, there is no prohibition in the Constitution for the State to have its own flag. The Indian Tricolour flag is made up of three equal rectangular bands – saffron on top, white in the middle, and green in the bottom. The length height ratio of the flag is 3:2. The dark blue Asoka Chakra in the middle band has 24 spokes. On July 22, 1947, the Constituent Assembly adopted the Indian flag in its current form during one of its meetings.
