The First Delimitation Commission in India was constituted in

The First Delimitation Commission in India was constituted in 1952. Under Article 82 of the Constitution, the Parliament is mandated to enact a Delimitation Act after every census [1]. Following the 1951 census, the Parliament enacted the Delimitation Commission Act, 1952 [3]. This Act provided for the establishment of an independent body to redraw the boundaries of Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assembly constituencies to ensure fair representation based on population changes. The first commission was formally set up in 1952 (often referred to as the 1952-53 exercise) and was tasked with readjusting seats based on the 1951 census figures [3]. Subsequent commissions were established in 1963, 1973, and 2002 under respective Acts [2]. The commission's orders have the force of law and cannot be challenged in any court [2].
