Delimitation Commission and Children's Special Bank Accounts

Delimitation Commission:-

The Delimitation Commission is appointed by the

President of India and works in collaboration with

the Election Commission of India.

It is appointed for the purpose of drawing up the

boundaries of constituencies all over the

country. A quota of constituencies to be

reserved in each State is fixed depending on the

proportion of SC or ST in that State.

After drawing the boundaries, the Delimitation

Commission looks at the composition of

population in each constituency.

Those constituencies that have the highest

proportion of Scheduled Tribe population are

reserved for ST.

In the case of Scheduled Castes, the Delimitation

Commission looks at two things.

It picks constituencies that have higher

proportion of Scheduled Caste population.

But it also spreads these constituencies in

different regions of the State. This is done

because the Scheduled Caste population is

generally spread evenly throughout the country.

These reserved constituencies can be rotated

each time the Delimitation exercise is

undertaken.

The Delimitation Commission in India is a high

power body whose orders have the force of law

and cannot be called in question before any

court.

Delimitation commissions have been set up

four times in the past - In 1952, 1963, 1973

and 2002 under Delimitation Commission acts

of 1952, 1962, 1972 and 2002.

Thus, the present Constituencies carved out

on the basis of 2001 census shall continue to

be in operation till the first census after 2026.

The assembly elections in Karnataka which

were conducted in three phases in May 2008

is the first one to use the new boundaries as

drawn by the 2002 delimitation commission.
