SC flags delay in delimitation exercise in three states

“Once the President rescinds the notification (deferring delimitation), it is enough,” Justice Kumar noted.On being questioned, ASG Nataraj tried to explain that the situation in the northeastern states is sensitive, with locals in Arunachal allegedly opposing the delimitation process.At the end of the hearing, the top court sought responses from the Central government, the Election Commission of India and the states of Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh in July 2022, and fixed the matter for further hearing in January 2025, when the ASG had to take instructions from the Centre and inform it about the status of it.
