Which one of the following statements about Electoral Government in India is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Statement 4 is incorrect because Article 329(a) of the Indian Constitution explicitly bars the judiciary from interfering in electoral matters related to the delimitation of constituencies. It specifies that the validity of any law relating to the delimitation of constituencies or the allotment of seats to such constituencies, made under Article 327 or Article 328, shall not be called in question in any court. The Delimitation Commission is an independent body appointed by the President that works with the Election Commission to draw boundaries . Conversely, Statement 1 is correct as Article 324 vests the superintendence, direction, and control of elections in the Election Commission [1]. Statement 2 is correct under Article 325, which mandates one general electoral roll for every territorial constituency. Statement 3 is correct as Parliament is empowered to make laws regarding delimitation under Article 327 [3].
