Q. Consider the following statements: - The Delimitation Commission is appointed by the President of India and works in collaboration with the Election Commission of India.
- A quota of constituencies to be reserved in each State is fixed depending on the proportion of Scheduled Castes (SCs) or Scheduled Tribes (STs) in that State.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer:
Only 2
Notes: Statement 2 is correct as the reservation of constituencies for SCs and STs in each State is based on their respective population proportions. Statement 1 is incorrect because the Delimitation Commission is appointed by the President of India, not by the Parliament, although it does work with the Election Commission during its functioning.
