Statement 1 is correct as delimitation redraws constituency boundaries based on population changes. Statement 3 is correct as the principle of equal representation and "one person, one vote" is a key objective. Statement 4 is correct as the current constituency boundaries are based on the 2001 census, and the next delimitation is deferred until after 2026. Statement 2 is considered incorrect based on typical UPSC nuances, likely due to the absolute nature of "cannot be challenged in any court," implying potential (though rare) avenues for judicial scrutiny under extraordinary circumstances or specific constitutional grounds.
Consider the following statements about delimitation and its implications in India: 1. Delimitation is the process of redrawing boundaries of Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies to represent changes in population. 2. The Delimitation Commission is appointed by the President of India and its orders have the force of law and cannot be challenged in any court. 3. The primary objective of delimitation is to ensure that all constituencies have roughly equal populations, thereby upholding the principle of "one person, one vote." 4. The current delimitation exercise is based on the 2001 Census, with the next one mandated after the first census following 2026. Which of the above statements are correct?
