Delimitation Act, 2002 alongwith Delimitation Act, 1972

This authoritative compilation brings together the Delimitation Act, 2002 and the Delimitation Act, 1972 in a single, easy-to-use volume. The Delimitation Acts establish the Delimitation Commission — its constitution, duties, powers and procedures — to readjust the allocation and boundaries of seats to the House of the People and State Legislative Assemblies after each census, and to determine reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. This edition reproduces the full statutory texts, section-wise arrangement, procedural provisions for publication of draft and final orders, provisions on associate members and casual vacancies, and provisions that govern the date of operation of delimitation orders. The book includes a concise explanatory note on the constitutional context (including the freeze on readjustment of state-wise seats until after the first census post-2026), historical background to earlier delimitation exercises, and practical cross-references to related election law material — making it a practical tool for election officials, litigators, policy makers and scholars. Clear layout, consolidated indexes and annotation-ready margins make this title suitable for courtroom reference, administrative use and classroom study.
