J&K; National Panthers Party vs The Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of amendments to the Jammu and Kashmir Representation of the People Act, 1957, specifically Section 3, which postpones the delimitation of constituencies until after the first census post-2026. The Court held that such postponement undermines democratic representation and is not legally sustainable, emphasizing the necessity of timely delimitation following census data to ensure fair electoral representation. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions.
