Today, On 25th July, the Supreme Court dismissed a plea seeking delimitation in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, stating, “Two states cannot be equated with Jammu & Kashmir,” where delimitation was done in 2022, resulting in an increase in assembly constituencies.
The Supreme Court of India has reserved judgment on a petition urging the Central Government to conduct a delimitation exercise for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, arguing it is unconstitutional to exclude these states while including Jammu and Kashmir. The petitioner’s lawyer emphasized the need for equal treatment across states, challenging the government’s stance.
