Soz urges Delimitation Commission to review proposal of 12 reserved seats in Jammu vis-à-vis 4 in Kashmir

“The Delimitation Commission formula reserving 12 seats in Jammu and only 4 seats in Kashmir for SCs/STs may ultimately lead to a kind of social unrest.The Commission has suggested this formula in its short-sighted response to a ticklish problem with sizable repercussions,” he added.“The Commission would be well advised to minutely study the verdict of the Supreme Court in its judgment in the case related to Triloki Nath Tikoo versus the J&K State in which the court had not excluded Kashmir’s Scheduled Castes (nineteen of them) like Marasi, Dubduba, Sansi, Jorbardar, Hamami, etc. for the grant of reservations in the government services etc.,” Soz said.
