STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
TheConstitution (Eighty- fourth Amendment) Act, 2001 has extended the constitutional embargo on undertaking fresh delimitation of electoral constituencies up to the year 2026 A.D. and simultaneously provided for undertaking the readjustment and rationalization of electoral constituencies , including those reserved for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes ,based on the population census for the year 1991 , without affecting the number of seats allocated to States in the legislative bodies . The Constitution (Eighty -seventh Amendment) Act, 2003 provides for readjustment and rationalization of electoral constituencies, including those reserved for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes , based on the population census for the year 2001. This exercise, however, does not affect the overall number of seats allocated to the States and Union territories in the legislative bodies. These provisions apply only to States and not to Union territories .
2.As far as delimitation with respect to Union territories is concerned, the Government ofUnion Territories Act, 1963 and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 respectively contain provisions , which are based on the 1971 and 1991 census . Theseprovisions also put an embargo on fresh allocation of seats in the Legislative Assemblies of Pondicherry and National Capital Territory of Delhi up to the year 2000.
3. It is proposed to amend the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963 and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 on the same lines of the amendment made to the Constitution by the Constitution (Eighty- fourth Amendment) Act, 2001 and the Constitution (Eighty-seventh Amendment)Act, 2003 .
4.The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects.
