J&K NATIONAL PANTHERS PARTY vs THE UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court examined 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 the democratic principle of proper representation, as it prevents timely adjustments to constituency boundaries based on population changes. The amendments were deemed unsustainable, affirming the necessity of regular delimitation following census data publication.
