Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that while Article 329(a) of the Constitution bars interference in electoral matters, it does not completely preclude judicial review of the Delimitation Commission's orders. The Court clarified that citizens must have a forum to address grievances regarding delimitation exercises, especially if there are allegations of mala fide or arbitrary actions. The Court emphasized that judicial scrutiny is permissible to ensure the validity of delimitation orders under constitutional principles, thereby overturning the Gujarat High Court's dismissal of the writ petition.
