Q54.
With reference to the Delimitation Commission, consider the following statements: 1. The orders of the Delimitation Commission cannot be challenged in a Court of Law. 2. When the orders of the Delimitation Commission are laid before the Lok Sabha or State Legislative Assembly, they cannot effect any modifications in the orders. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer
C
Explanation
Both statements are correct. (1) The orders of the Delimitation Commission have the force of law and cannot be called in question before any court — they are final and binding under Article 329 of the Constitution. (2) When laid before Lok Sabha or State Assembly, the House cannot modify the orders — they can only suggest changes which the Commission may or may not accept, but the legislature cannot enforce modifications.
