When has it happened before?
A Delimitation Commission was first constituted in 1952. Subsequently, they have been constituted in 1963, 1973 and 2002.
However, in 2002, the Constitution was specifically amended not to have delimitation of constituencies until 2026.
The guiding logic behind this was that by 2026, the population growth across states would be somewhat similar. Otherwise, states which performed poorly in terms of population control would be rewarded by increasing their constituency tally, and those which took measures to control their population would have fewer constituencies.
Can Centre carry out delimitation in J&K?
No, the central government is not authorised to carry out delimitation in the state without amending the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir. Since hardly any Kashmiri party will support this, the Centre is likely to have a tough time carrying out the exercise.
The last time a delimitation exercise was conducted in J&K was under President’s Rule in 1995 by retired Justice K.K. Gupta’s commission. This followed a provisional delimitation
exercise carried out in 1993 by Governor Jagmohan, when J&K was divided into 87 assembly constituencies.
Currently, there are seven seats reserved for Scheduled Castes in the assembly, all in the Jammu division, which haven’t been rotated since 1996.
The next exercise was due in 2005, but in 2002, the Farooq Abdullah government chose to freeze delimitation until 2026 by amending the Jammu & Kashmir Representation of the People Act, 1957, and Section 47(3) of the Constitution of Jammu & Kashmir.
The
amended Section 47(3) provided that “until the relevant figures for the first census taken after the year 2026 have been published, it shall not be necessary to readjust the total number of seats in the legislative assembly of the state and the division of the state into territorial constituencies under this sub-section”.
Going by the J&K Constitution, the governor has the power to amend Section 47 to delete this proviso. Also, if the governor sets up a delimitation commission, the process can begin. Section 3 of the J&K Representation of People Act also gives the governor the power to constitute a delimitation commission.
The state also has the power to revoke the law through a constitutional amendment with a two-third majority.
Convention dictates that the next delimitation exercise can only take place after Census 2031, unless the governor intervenes.
