DISSENTING PROPOSALS
I
We are enclosing suggestions for changes in the delimitations as pro- posed by the Election Commission. The changes proposed are the outcome of serious consideration from all aspects keeping in view contiguity and people's convenience. We hope that the Commission will kindly accept them.
We are attaching with our suggestions notes about some districts giving arguments for the changes suggested by us.
SUGGESTIONS REGARDING PARLIAMENTARY SEATS IN THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL
ARAMBAGH, MURSHIDABAD AND BERHAMPUR PARLIAMEN- TARY SEATS
Re: Armbagh Parliamentary Constituency.
Arambagh Parliamentary Constituency (No. 26) has been made into a Scheduled Caste reserved seft^ and Balurghat Parliamentary Constitu- ency (No. 5) has been made a General seat
Balurghat has 28.24 per cent scheduled castes and Arambagh has 25.51 per cent. In addition Arambagh has a nominal amount of scheduled tribes, but Balurghat has 15.21 per cent tribals.
Arambagh is in the heart of Hooghly District, which Is really the cul- tural centre of West Bengal. Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Thakur Ramakrishna
„ S . GA - OF . IIA EXTRAORDINARY -jgj-Paramhansa Deb and numerious other illustrious men in different walks of life have hailed from different portions of this seat. There is likely to be considerable resentment if this seat is reserved for scheduled caste.
In the circumstances, we suggest that Balurghat which has more than 43 per cent scheduled castes and tribes added together, be made into a reserved seat for scheduled castes and Arambagh be made a general seat.
Re: Murshidabad Parliamentary Constituency and Berhampur Parliamen-
tary Constituency.
We are rather surprised to find the new constitution of the Murshida- bad Parliamentary Constituency (No. 8) and Berhampur Constituency (No. 9)- This is a complete change from what was originally suggested by the Delimitation Commission and also completely different from the suggestions that were given by any associate members at the sitting of the Commission at Calcutta in January, 1965.
We suggested that the two Constituencies be made as follows which is substantially similar to what was orginally suggested by the Commis- sion:

REGARDING PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN NORTH BENGAL
It appears from the new suggestions of the Commission that one por- tion of the Raiganj Parliamentary Constituency (No. 4) is not connected with the other, i.e. Meckliganj (No, 1), Jalpaiguri (No. 18) and Rajganj (No. 19) section of the Raiganj Parliamentary constituency is not con- nected with the West Dinajpur section viz. seat Nos. 25, 26, 27 and 28.
We, therefore, suggest a circular change affecting the four Parliamen- tary Constituencies viz. Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4. We suggest that, Toofangunge-
ji86 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PAKT I I-(No. 8) be taken from Cooch Behar Parliamentary Constituency (No. 1) and added to Jalpaiguri Parliamentary constituency (No, 2).
Mainaguri No. (16) be taken from Jalpaiguri Parliamentary consti- tuency (No. 2) and added to Darjeeling Parliamentary Constituency (No. 3).
Phansidewa (No. 24) be taken from Darjeeling Parliamentary Cons- tituency (No. 3) and added to Raiganj Parliamentary constituency (No. 4).
Meckliganj (No. 1) be taken from Raiganj Parliamentary constitu- ency (No. 4) and added to Cooch Behar Parliamentary constituency (No.
.SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE DISTRICT OF JALPAIGURI Regarding undue concentration of Scheduled Tribes seats in, the District.
According to CL (d) of sec. 9(1) of the Delimitation Commission Act, 1962 the constituencies in which seats are reserved for scheduled tribes shall, as far as practicable, be located in areas where the proportion of their population to the total is the largest. The meaning of the clause is not very clear, specially with regard to the meaning of the word "areas" and in practical application, the clause may lead to difficulties and in .hypothetical cases, amount to absurdity.
"Areas" may mean an entire state or it may mean districts or sub- divisions. The word "areas" is embigous. If areas mean constituencies then in the district of Jalpaiguri there will be 6 seats and only 2 for the orest. Thus about 3.5 lakhs of people belonging to the scheduled tribes would have as many as 5 seats and 5.9 lakhs of people not belonging either to scheduled tribes or scheduled castes would have only three .seats. Similarly, by following the directions contained in this clause about 4 lakhs of scheduled tribes people of Birbhum, Burdwan and Hooghly and will have no special representation at all. The result would -obviously be very unjust and unfair. So far as the voters of the general •constituencies of the district of Jalpaiguri are concerned it can be said that they would be discriminated against. The discrimination would arise in this way: While 5.9 lakhs of voters of general constituencies in the district of Jalpaiguri will have 3 seats only other voters belonging to the same class in other districts will have a larger number of seats. {There will, therefore, be discrimination against the voters of general con- stituencies residing at Jalpaiguri as compared to the voters of the same -class residing in other districts. Such discrimination would be against the Constitution.
According to the accepted principles of interpretation of statutes an interpretation which would result in unfairness or arbitrariness or which would lead to a position which is not tenable in law should be avoided. So the word "areas" should not be taken to mean the entire state. It should be taken to mean districts, which would obviate the unfair and •untenable position noticed above.
If, however, this suggestion is not acceptable to the Commission, it should be considered what significance should be attached to the words as far as practicable" appearing in cl- (d). The question then would be how far it is practicable to follow the directions given in clause (d). It has already been shown that if the directions contained in cl. (d) are
SBC, 3(il)l THE GA2ETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY 2 87literally followed there would be discrimination against a section of the people. The discrimination noticed above can be reduced to a minimum if some of the seats, which the scheduled tribes would be entitled to by locating the maximum number of reserved constituencies in the district of Jalpaiguri, are distributed amongst such districts as Birbhum, Burd- wan and Hooghly where they are not going to have any reserved seats.
Regarding reservation for Schedule Caste.
It appears that all the three scheduled caste seats have been given to the Sadar sub-division viz. Mainaguri (No. 16), Rajganj (No. 19) and Dhupguri (No. 14) whereas none of the seats in the Alipur Duars sub- division has been reserved for scheduled castes. We suggest Falakata (No. 11) which has the highest concentration of scheduled castes in the Alipur Duars sub-division and which has a very high percentage of scheduled castes and tribes added together viz. 63 per cent be made into a seat reserved for scheduled castes and the Rajganj seat which has a highlv developed centre in the district be made into a general seat.

The population of Mahipur is lesser than Kamalabari near about by 2,000, so that in order to maintain average population of this Constituency, Kaliaganj Anchal is included in place of Malgaon, By this, the new name of the Consti- tuency Hemtabad is not at all necessary as the old Kaliaganj Consti- tuency is well known. By this alteration the percentage of the Sche- duled Caste population of both S.C. Constituency is not much affected. Hence it is considered to be added in this Constituency and in change of the name of Constituency is recommended.

5—MALDA DISTRICT
(39) Harishchandrapur Assembly] Constituency.
With regard to the District of Malda we have two small but very important suggestions:
I. We find from the report of the Commission that Bhaluka and Masalda A.PS. of Harishchandrapur P.S. have been tagged with Ratua constituency (No. 40).
We have no objection of Masalda being tagged with Ratua Constitu- ency. But in so far as Bhaluka A.P. is concerned, we are of opinion that this should be retained in Harishchandrapur Constituency and in- stead Daulatpur A.P. of Harishchandrapur P.S. should be tagged with Ratua Constituency for the following reasons:-—
(a) That Daulatpur A,P. and Masalda A.P. of Harishchandrapur P.S. formerly belonged to one Union, namely, Daulatpur- Union of Harishchandrapur P.S.
(b) That very recently Masalda and Daulatpur have been separated into two Anchal Panchayats and at the time of separation of some Mouzas of the former Union was divided into two and one part was tagged with Masaldah Anchal panchayat and the other with the Daulatpur Anchal Panchayat, (c) This division clearly shows that the people of Daulatpur and Masalda are intimately connected in their daily activities since a long time. These two Anchals are contiguous to Ratua P.S. also.
(d) That the population of Daulatpur is 7812 and the population of Bhaluka is 7438. Therefore, the total population of the con- stituencies will not be least affected if Daulatpur is tagged with Ratua and Bhaluka is retained in Harishchandrapur itself.
(45) Kaliachak Assembly Constituency.
II. We are also of the opinion that for reasons of easy communication and day to day activities the Anchals Jalalpur and Bamangram Masim- pur (whose populations figures are 9253 and 6752) should be included in the Kaliachak Constituency from Sujapur Constituency and in its place Anchals Alipore and Mujampur (whose populations figure is 10637 and 5990 respectively) from the Kaliachak constituency should be tagged with Sujapur constituency (44).
3 g2 GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PART I I-In support of the above statement the reasons are noted below: —
(1) By these the population of Sujapur constituency will be in par
with Kaliachak constituency.
(2) There is an easy communication of Alipore, Majampur Anchals with Silampur and its neighbouring Anchals of Sujapur con- stituency.
(3) Jalalpur and Bamangram Mosimpur Anchals of Sujapur con- stituency are well linked up with Jaluabathal and other neighbouring Anchals of Kaliachak constituency.
(4) The people of Alinagar, Silampur-Alipore and Mujampur Anchals are mainly silk spinners and Weavers and any divi- sion of those Anchals will be harmful to the interest of the people of those localities.
•SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE DISTRICT OF 24-PARGANAS
Regarding Basirhat Sub-division
It appears from the suggestions that has been sent by the Commission that Harwa seat (No. 93) has been made into a scheduled caste seat. At (he sitting of the Commission in Calcutta it was decided that Harwa, which is at present a general seat, should remain so. As this has1 been done by the Commission, we take it that possibly because the Commission has added an additional scheduled caste seat to this district and one tribal -seat as well.
Harwa is an existing general seat and there will be unnecessary hard- ship if it is reserved for scheduled caste. We suggest that the two A.Ps. viz. Chaital and Champali in Minakhan P.S. in the same sub-division be taken out from Harwa constituency (No. 93) and added to Hasnabad con- stituency (No. 89) and the two A.Ps. viz. Nimdaria-Kodalia and Sankchu- ria-Bagundi be taken out from Hasnabad (No. 89) and added to Basirhat (No. 88).
This will reduce the percentage of scheduled caste in the Ilarwa consti- tuency to 31 • 6- This seat, therefore, is to be made into a general seat £.nd the new seat of Gaighata (No. 80) which has a scheduled caste population of 33-20 be reserved for scheduled caste. As Gaighata is a new seat, there will not be any cause for any hardship or public resentment.
The change, as suggested will keep all the three affected constituen- cies, xnz. Harwa, Hasnabad and Basirhat within the prescribed limits of populations.
Regarding Diamond Harbour Sub-division
There is a small change affecting only two constituencies viz- consti- tuency No. 114 and No. 115. We suggest that predominantly scheduled caste Anchal of Radhakantapur be transferred from the general seat of Radhakantapur (No. 115) to reserve seat of Mathurapur (114).
Constituency No. 115 was originally named Patharpratima, As the Anchal of that name was transferred to 114 at the time of sitting of Ihe 'Commission at Calcutta in January, 1965, the name of Radhakantapur was given to 115.
We find, however, that in Basirhat Sub-division, constituency No 89 has been named Hasnabad, though the Anchal of that name is not within that constituency. In the same principle, therefore, constituency No. 115 which contains a major portion of Patharpratima P.S. should be named Patharpratima. We find that Radhakantapur being a small village, there is some resentment about the constituency being given that name.
Proposal regarding delimitation of Assembly Constituencies in the District
of Howrah
The main difference between the proposals regarding delimitation of Assembly Constituencies in the district ot Howrah as framed by the Elec- tion Commission and those submitted herewith are that while in the Elec- tion Commission proposals the rural area has been mixed up with the urban area, the present proposals seek to separate them, as the problems and condition of the two areas are widely divergent.
The Government of West Bengal has already published a bill intending to constitute a Howrah Corporation with the existing Howrah and Bally Municipalities and the whole of Jagacha P.S. as the area in question is marked by different from the rest of the district in many important res- pects. A relevant portions of the *bill showing the proposed area of the Corporation together with the map being enclosed for the perusal of the Election Commission. The modified delimitation proposals as submitted now have been so framed as to retain intact the whole of the proposed Corporation area as a district area. Thus the whole district has been divided into three district Zones viz., proposed Corporation area with a population of 6,72,361 with 5 seats, the average population per seat being 1,34,472. (2) Rest of the Sadar Sub-division with a population of 5,02,290 with 4 seats, the average population being 1,25,572. (3) The sub-division of Uluberia with a population of 8,63,826 with 7 seats, the average popula- tion being 1,23,404. The proposed Howrah Corporation bill is going to be enacted during the present session of the Legislature and the Corporation will be functioning before the General Elections are held in 1967. Such being the case, the Corporation area should be considered separately from the other areas as in the case of Calcutta. Most of the changes in the proposed Corporation area and the rest of the Sadar Sub-division are rather consequential changes as a result of the above.
In the delimitation proposals of the Election Commission physical and geographical contiguity has been maintained, sometimes ignoring essen- tial conveniences, such as conveyance, people's convenience, natural con- tiguity, disturbing seriously both administration and police zones.
In a few cases such things may be inevitable but in many cases such things may be taken into account without disturbing the principle of physical and the principle of physical and geographical contiguity. Thus, the proposed Kalyanpur Constituency in Ulberia Sub-division may be cited as an instance. The proposed constituency runs from far inside Bagnan P.S. to Jhikira in Amta P.S. This is an unnatural cumbraous area and people intimate with the area will look askance at such a consti- tuency. This is unnecessary. Changes have been suggested in the Ulu- beria Sub-division keeping in view both contiguity and convenience. Throughout the district attempts have also been made to retain the character of present constituencies as far as possible taking into considera- tion, of course, the fact that all the constituencies will become relatively smaller. A fmap is also being enclosed for the convenience of the Elec- tion Commission.

3 98 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PAOT I I-Suggestions regarding the Assembly ConstitueTicies in the District of
Hooghly
We find from the new proposal of the Commission that the existing seats Nos. 171 (Champdani) and 173 (Singur) have been altered from what was suggested in the earlier proposal. We find that Bora AP. has been taken away from Champdani and added to Singur and Bagdanga AP. has been taken away from Singur and! added to Champdani. We are rather surprised to find this change as we had all accepted the existing suggestions regarding Champdani and Singur at the conference that we had at the Writers' Buildings at Calcutta in January, 1965.
Bora AP. Is quite contiguous to Champdani constituency. Bagdanga AP. is, of course, narrowly connected with Champdani, but it is far more contiguous with Singur. Besides, if Bagdanga AP. is added to Champ- dani, the constituency is made unnecessarily a long and narrow one with considerable difficulties in communication.
We, therefore, suggest that the old suggestions of the Commission giv- ing Bora A.P. to Champdani and Bagdanga AP. to Singur be maintained. The difference of population in the two A.Ps. is negligible.
Reasons for the changes suggested for the District of Midnapur
As regards the district of Midnapur, we find that in the light of our discussions in the Rotunda from the 19th to the 24th January, 1965, practi- cally no changes have been made. Only in case of Nandigram North, Kakra and Gurgram APs. in Bhagwanpur P.S. have been taken away and Jukhia and Baroj A.Ps. have been added making it more worse than before geographically. Lengthwise it stretches from the Haldi river to the Rasulpur river, almost twenty five miles but breadthwise it is a narrow strip.
The changes as proposed now are more rational as the old constituen- cies have been retained to a large extent. The Commission allotted a new seat in the Tamluk Sub-division. 60 thousand population from the Ghatal Sub-division and 56 thousand population from the Contai Sub-division have been added to Tamluk Sub-division to make a new seat. Thereby almost all the old constituencies of the Tamluk Sub-division have been disturbed. In between Daspur P.S. of Ghatal Sub-division and Panskura P.S. of Tamluk Sub-division, there is a natural barrier, the river Cossey (Kangsabati) so it is better to tag the surplus population of Daspur P.S- to Sadar Sub-division than to Tamluk Sub-division.
By the Commission's proposals: —
(a) part of Ghatal sub-division is added to Tamluk sub-division. (b) part of Contai sub-division is added to Tamluk sub-division. (c) part of Contai sub-division (portion of Pataspur P.S. added to Sabong Constituency) is taken away and added to Sadar Sub- division.
But in our proposal, we suggest a new seat in Contai sub-division, whereby no old seats of Tamluk and Contai sub-division are materially affected. This point waa clearly explained by us before the Commission and we felt that the Commission, had agreed to accept 8 seats each for Contai and Tamluk Sub-divisions. It was explained that Contai on the basis of population was entitled! to 7-59 seats and Tamluk to 8-22 seats. On the principles of approximation therefore it was quite reasonable to give 8 seats to each of the said sub-division. Thereby Tamluk Sub-division
SEO, "(il)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY 299is kept in tact, Contai Sub-division is kept in tact, only portion of Daspur P.S. (Ghatal Sub-division) is added to Sadar Sub-division.
In view of the above facts, we hope that the Election Commission will kindly give its best consideration to the following proposals: —
We have only given those constituencies in which changes have been suggested by us.

NOTES OF DISSENT
Cooch Behar District (West Bengal) -(a) Mekhligunj Assembly Constituency
There are many Indian Enclaves in Pakistan. Though the figures of 1&61 census are not in hand it can be mentioned here that as per 1951 census the population of Indian Enclaves within Cooch Behar District was about 15000. Majority of these Indian enclaves fall under the administra- tive jurisdiction of MEKHLIGUNJ Sub-division. It is found from the •electoral rolls of Mekhligunj Constituency, prepared in 1959 that there are about 5000 voters in the Indian enclaves under Mekhligunj Sub-division. But from the proposal regarding delimitation of the Assembly Constitu- encies of Cooch Behar district, I found that this population who are Indian •citizens, have not been taken into account. Neither the administrative authorities nor the Election Commission has the right to deprive these Indian citizens of their right to exercise their votes and naturally their case should have been considered at the time of working of delimitation of constituencies of Cooch Behar District.
If the present population is taken to be even about 15,000, the entire Mekhligunj Sub-division shall constitute an Assembly Constituency -of its own and no part from adjacent Mathabhanga Sub-division needs to be tagged. So , my suggestion is that the entire Mekhligunj Sub-division (as •defined by the administration) shall form one constituency. If however, at all needed from the view point of parity of population, only Gopalpur Anchal under Mathabhanga police station can be included in the proposed Mekhligunj Constituencies.
(b) Cooch Behar North
It is proposed that Madhupur Anchal with 9805 population may be tagged with the Cooch Behar North Constituency from Cooch Behar West Constituency and to adjust the excess population so added, Baneswar Anchal with 8876 population may be transferred from Cooch Behar North Constituency to Cooch Behar South Constituency. The suggestion is placed keeping in mind the position of Madhupur Anchal which is in the eastern side of turbulent river Torssa. All the anchals except Madhupur which are on the eastern bank of river Torssa, have been tagged with Cooch Behar North Constituency. On the other hand, all the adjacent anchals of Baneswar anchal are in the Cooch Behar South Constituency. The percentage of Scheduled. Caste population in both the constituencies will affect negligibly by this minor adjustment. If the suggestion is accepted, not only the basic principles of Delimitation Commission shall prevail but it shall as well be convenient on the part of the authority to nold the proposed election, on the part of the candidates to run the elec- tion, on the part of the electorates to have a choice of a member of their common interest and on the part of the elected member to discharge his duties towards his electorates.
Suggestion regarding Parliamentary Constituencies in North Bengal
The communication problem in the districts of North Bengal viz. Cooch Behar, Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling etc. is known to everybody. There are many turbulent rivers like Tista, Torssa, Jaldhakka, Manshai flow through these districts in the North South direction. Due to excessive rain, floods occur every year in these rivers. There are a few metalled roads in these 'districts. Only communication is by rail or by road transport through
NH 31 which touches all these districts. The following suggestion is placed keeping in mind the position of NH 31.

ACCORDING TO PRESENT PROPOSALS
Rajnogar Assembly Constituency will be made up of
(I) Whole of Rajnogor P.S. (II) Khayrasole P.S. excluding Panchra Anchal (III) 3 Anchals of Dubrojpur P.S.—Viz-
Gohaliara Laxminaryanpur Balijuri.
And Dubrajpur Assembly Constituency will be made of (I) Whole of Illambazar P.S. (II) 5 Anchals of Dubrajpur P.S.—Viz.
Dubrojpur Hatampur Jashpur Paduma Lopa.
(III) Panchra Anchal of Khayrasole P.S.
It is suggested that these proposals be modified so that Balljuri Anchal may be taken out of Rajnagar Assembly Constituency and included in Dubrajpur Assembly constituency, and Panchra Anchal may be taken out of Dabrajpur Assembly Constituency and included in Rajnogor Assembly Constituency.
This change will not materially affect population figures of the two Assembly constituencies under consideration.
The disadvantages which the present proposals entail and the advan- tages which will result from the suggested change will appear from the following considerations: —
(A) It will be Simple and much easier to appreciate the limits of the Rajnagor Assembly Constituency if it is made up of 2 entire thanas (Raj- nagore and Khayrasole) and 2 Anchals of Dubrojpur {viz. Gohaliara and Laximnarayanpur) rather than of one entire thana (Rajnagore) and part of another thana (Khayrasole) and part of another thana (Dubrajpur).
(B) Boundaries of police Station were determined with a view to en- sure certain geographical and other advantages and as such Panchra Anchal being part of Khayrasole P.S. should not be severed from the rest of Khayrasole P.S. if such severance can be avoided.
(C) From the major part of the Dabrajpur Assembly Constituency, as proposed, Panchra Anchal can not be reached without having to cross the unbridged river 'Sal' whereas Panchra Anchal can be reached without crossing the river 'Sal' from all places in Rajnagor Assembly constituency except a few villages situate at the northeast of Lokepur Anchal and Rupeespur Anchal. Thus while a small portion of Dabrojpur Assembly constituency is not separated from Panchal Anchal bv the river the rest of the constituency is, but a very small part of Rajnagor Assembly consti- tuency is separated from Panchra Anchal by the river and the rest is not.
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY 309(D) Balijuri Anchal is part of Dabrojpur P.S. and should not be sever- ed irom Dabrajpur constituency if severance can be avoided. If Balijuri Anchal is added to Dubrajpur Assembly constituency and Panchra Anchal is excluded from it the result area will be a more compact one.
(E) Only 5 Villages lying the southwest of Balijori Anchal viz. Kuku- tia, Kumarbundra, Bonbundra, Balsara and Kulakunri (Pirpur and Pati- pur being uninhabited) are separated irom other parts of the Dabrajpur Assembly constituency by the river Sal and the rest of Balijari Anchal consisting of a dozen villages are not so separated. If Balijuri Anchai re- mains within Rajnagor Assembly constituency the position is just the reverse, for the 5 villages are not separated by the river from the rest of the Rajnagor Assembly constituency and the rest of Balijuri Anchal com- prising of the dozen villages are so separated!. From the point of view of accessibility and easy communication therefore Barijuri Anchal should form part of Dubrajpur Assembly Constituency just as Panchra Anchal should form part of Rajnagor Assembly Constituency.
