DISSENTING PROPOSALS
I
A perusal of our proposals will reveal that we have followed closely the long existing traditional boundaries of the communes as far as possible, taking into consideration factors like the compact- ness and contiguity of the areas , facilities of communications and public convenience .
According to the proposals of the Commission , five constituencies are to be demarcated for reservation for the scheduled castes of this State. We have carefully considered the Commission's proposals in this regard and we feel that four seats will be adequate to meet the needs for representation of Scheduled Castes in the Legislative Assembly consisting of only 30 members . We consider that four seats reserved for Scheduled Castes bear as nearly as can be the same proportion to the total number of seats in the Assembly as the population of the Scheduled Castes in this territory , in respect of which seats are reserved , bears to the total population of the Union Territory . We have noted that the number of seats for Sche- duled Castes here , as per percentage calculation , is only 4.62 and we consider four seats as more than adequate for Scheduled castes repre- sentation in the Legislative Assembly.
(No. 2 constituency )
( 1 ) Kurichikuppam
On the basis of four seats for Scheduled Castes , we have proposed the following constituencies for reservation to Scheduled Castes in Pondicherry State :
( 2) Oupalam
(No. 6 constituency ) (No. 18 constituency )
(3) Oulgaret
(No. 11 constituency)
(4) Bahour
In distributing the seats for Scheduled Castes , we have , as far as practicable , located the constituencies in areas where the proportion of their population to the total is comparatively large and which are considered as traditionally backward . We have given due weightage to practical considerations in demarcating the scheduled castes constituencies such as the existing age long commune boundaries , the compactness and contiguity of the areas , facilities of easy com- 'nunication , physical features , convenient situation , and other pub- lic conveniences . We consider that our proposals are the best possible under the existing circumstances and they represent to a large extent the spirit of the Article No. 5 of Part II of the Govern- ment of Union Territories Act 1963 , and also Article 9 of the Delimitation Commission Act, 1962 .
In Oupalam and Oulgaret constituencies which we have proposed for reservation to Scheduled Castes , the proportion of Scheduled Castes to the total population is comparatively adequate and it may not be so in Kurichikuppam constituency . However, we have other solid reasons and practical considerations in making this proposal .

Kurichikuppam was considered traditionally for a long time and continues now also socially , economically and politically a backward area and it contains a large population of persons who have been enumerated as other than Scheduled Castes but are actually back- ward Christians converted from Scheduled Castes , in addition to other backward castes like fishermen . Considering the traditional background and the social and economical backwardness of popu- lation in Kurichikuppam area , we feel that a Scheduled Caste mem- ber will more adequately represent the interest of Scheduled Castes and also the converted Scheduled Castes in an effective way rather than a person belonging to any other caste . We have also taken into consideration the fact that the Kurichikuppam constituency has been represented for a long time and is now represented by a person belonging to Scheduled Castes , according to the latest election held on 4th October, 1963. Furthermore , Kurichikuppam is the only constituency in this Territory where always Harijans have been elected as members of the Legislative Assembly , even before the coming into force of the Union Territories Act, which reserved seats for Scheduled Castes .
While in Pondicherry region the number of constituencies has been reduced from 22 to 20 , in Karaikal region the number of cons- tituencies has been drastically cut and reduced from 12 to 7. In the circumstances , we feel that it would not be judicious to reduce the seven constituencies in Karaikal region available for general public to six by reserving one among the seven constituencies for Scheduled Castes . As an alternative , we have proposed to locate in Pondi- cherry region itself the fourth constituency in Bahour , as indicated earlier , for Scheduled Castes , which the Commission may kindly approve .
We agree with the proposals of the Commission in respect of Mahe and Yanam regions .

KARAIKAL TERRITORY
The formation of Nedungadu Commune as a Reserved Consti- tuency for Scheduled Caste is a step to welcome .
The division of Karikal Town and of Neravy Commune needs some adjustments . Here they are :
Karikal South comprises a population of 12,888 , while Karikal North comprises a population of only 11,251 . Thus there is dis- parity of ( 12,888-11,251 ) = 1,425 .
This disparity could be reduced by :
(a) separating Ward No. 1 ( Madagady ) from Karikal South (12,888 less 3,108 = 9,780) and
(b)' adding thereto Ward No. 7 ( Thannir Tank ) (9,780 plus 1,587 make = 11,367 )
Thus , the disparity could be reduced to : (11,367 less 11,251) = 116 only (instead of 1,425 ) .
Neravy:
This Commune now consists of only 11,463 people , while Thirunallar Commune counts 12,824 people and Nedungadu Commune counts 12,995 people .
By detaching Thannir Tank ( Ward No. 7 from Neravy ) and attaching thereto Madagady ( Ward No. 1 ) this commune will consist of:
(11,463 less 1,587) = 9,876 plus 3,108 make : 12,984 Neravy .
Thus , with a population of 12,984 people Neravy Commune will be at par with: Thirunallar and Nedungadu Communes .

Ward No. 1 Madagady is contiguous with the border of Neravy Commune separated only by the river Arasalar at the tail end . This ward ends where Ward No. 11 Daramapuram begins . Therefore this Ward No. 1 together with Ward No. II could be easily attached to Neravy Commune , whilst Ward No. 7 Thannir Tank is not conti- guous with Neravy border . Thannir Tank is only contiguous with Ward No. 6 Kadir Sultan and , therefore , it could be conveniently attached to Karikal South .
Like Pondicherry , Karikal is not surrounded by a Boulevard Road separating the town from its suburbs . But , at Karikal , only Paddy fields separate the town in the West and in the East from the rest. Viewed from this angle , Ward No. 7 Thannir Tank is situated within the town limits , since Paddy fields begin at the west end of this Ward. As such this Ward should be included within Karikal and that too within Karikal South , in order to reduce the disparity , as stated above.
