Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the geographical change resulting in 16 villages moving from District Murshidabad to District Malda necessitates their inclusion in the Malda Parliamentary Constituency under Section 9(1)(b) of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to issue a writ of mandamus directing the Election Commission to make the necessary changes. The ruling emphasized the duty of the Election Commission to reflect administrative changes in electoral boundaries as per constitutional provisions.
