Delimitation Act Section 9(1)(c) | Reservation of SC/ST Constituencies Based on Population Proportion Upheld as Non-Arbitrary : Allahabad HC

Allahabad High Court ruled that the methodology under Section 9(1)(c) of the Delimitation Act, 2002, for reserving SC/ST constituencies based on population proportion is constitutionally valid and not arbitrary. The judgment reinforces judicial deference to legislative policy in electoral reservation matters, impacting future delimitation exercises.
