News:

The Delimitation Commission has proposed 6 additional seats for the Union Territory of Jammu and 1 for Kashmir.

For the first time, it is proposed to reserve 7 seats for SCs for STs based on population.

If this proposal is approved, then the number of seats for the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly will increase to 90.

This will increase the seats for Jammu from 37 to 43 and for Kashmir Valley from 46 to 47.

Political parties are strongly opposing this proposal.

 

About Delimitation Commission:

It is also known as Sima Commission (Boundary Commission).

After every census, a Delimitation Act is enacted by the Parliament under Article-82 of the Constitution.

After the implementation of the Delimitation Act, the Delimitation Commission is appointed by the President.

This body works closely with the Election Commission.

Its main function is to re-demarcate the boundaries for the constituencies of Lok-Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies based on the previous census.

It is not worth mentioning that the decisions of the Delimitation Commission cannot be challenged in any court.
