Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Periodically redraws the boundaries of parliamentary and assembly constituencies based on the latest census, ensuring equal representation by population. Constituted under Delimitation Acts, chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge, with the Election Commission and state representatives. The Commission’s orders hold force of law and cannot be questioned in courts. However, seat allocation for SC/ST must be safeguarded. Delimitation addresses demographic shifts (urbanization, population changes), preventing imbalanced representation. Critics allege political manipulation or delayed updates hamper fair representation. Nonetheless, delimitation fosters equitable legislative constituencies, reflecting evolving population densities and maintaining the principle of “one person, one vote.”
