Commission proposes additional seats for J&K
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.

resolution, it has also been said to reserve 24 seats for Pakistan Occupied
Kashmir (POK).
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.
