List of Indian state flags
Currently, there are no officially recognised flags of the individual states of the Republic of India.
No legal prohibitions to prevent states adopting distinctive flags exist in either the Emblems and Names Act, 1950 or the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971. 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. The Flag code of India also permits other flags to be flown with the Flag of India, but not on the same flag pole or in a superior position to the national flag.
