Supreme Court Dismisses Plea Challenging Delimitation In JK

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Supreme Court Monday dismissed a petition challenging the delimitation of Assembly and parliamentary constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir, according to Bar and Bench.
Dismissing the plea filed by two Kashmir residents — Abdul Gani Khan and Muhammad Ayub Matto — the bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and AS Oka said that it has not ruled upon the validity of the Jammu & Kashmir Re-organisation Act, 2019, which is pending before the Supreme Court among the batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution.
Delimitation is the act of redrawing boundaries of an Assembly or Lok Sabha seat to represent changes in population over time. A commission set up by the Centre submitted its final report for the delimitation in Jammu and Kashmir in May last year.
In December, the apex court reserved its judgment on a plea challenging constitution of the commission. The petitioners had argued that under the 2019 Act, only the Election Commission is empowered to conduct the delimitation exercise. However, the Centre stated that the J&K Reorganisation Act of 2019 mandates the commission to do it, reported Bar and Bench .
