Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Delimitation of Constituencies.
1. In the delimitation process, the number of seats allocated to different states in Lok Sabha and the total number seats in a Legislative Assembly remains the same.
2. 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.
3. The first delimitation exercise in 1950-51 was carried out by the President with the help of the Election Commission.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?Correct
Delimitation is the act of redrawing boundaries of Lok Sabha and state Assembly seats to represent changes in population.
In this process, the number of seats allocated to different states in Lok Sabha and the total number seats in a Legislative Assembly may also change.
The main objective of delimitation is to provide equal representation to equal segments of a population.
It also aims at a fair division of geographical areas so that one political party doesn’t have an advantage over others in an election.
Delimitation is carried out by an independent Delimitation Commission.
1. The Constitution mandates that its orders are final and cannot be questioned before any court as it would hold up an election indefinitely.
2. Under Article 82, the Parliament enacts a Delimitation Act after every Census.
3. Once the Act is in force, the Union government sets up a Delimitation Commission.
The first delimitation exercise in 1950-51 was carried out by the President (with the help of the Election Commission), as the Constitution at that time was silent on who should undertake the division of states into Lok Sabha seats.
This delimitation was temporary as the Constitution mandated redrawing of boundaries after every Census. Hence,
another delimitation was due after the 1951 Census. Subsequently, the Delimitation Commission Act was enacted in 1952.
Delimitation Commissions have been set up four times — 1952, 1963, 1973 and 2002 under the Acts of 1952, 1962, 1972 and 2002. There was no delimitation after the 1981 and 1991 Censuses.Incorrect

2. Democratic socialism holds faith only in public sector.
3. Democratic socialism aims to end poverty, ignorance, disease and inequality of opportunity.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct

As the Supreme Court says, ‘Democratic socialism aims to end poverty, ignorance, disease and inequality of opportunity. Indian socialism is a blend of Marxism and Gandhism, leaning heavily towards Gandhian socialism’.
