Delimitation of constituencies and determination of constituencies reserved for SCs and STs are done

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The delimitation of constituencies and the determination of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) are primarily the responsibility of the Delimitation Commission [3]. Under Article 82 of the Constitution, Parliament enacts a Delimitation Act after every census to establish this independent, high-powered body [3]. The Commission is appointed by the President of India and works in collaboration with the Election Commission of India, with the Chief Election Commissioner serving as an ex-officio member [3]. Its mandate includes redrawing electoral boundaries and fixing the quota of reserved constituencies based on the proportion of SC or ST populations in each state [3]. The decisions of the Delimitation Commission have the force of law and cannot be challenged in any court, ensuring the stability of the electoral process [3].
