News:

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.

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.
