Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of notifications issued for delimitation in Jammu and Kashmir, which increased legislative assembly seats, while excluding Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The petitioners challenged the arbitrariness of this delimitation process, arguing it violated constitutional principles of equality and fairness. The court analyzed whether the delimitation exercise adhered to statutory and constitutional provisions, ultimately emphasizing the importance of non-arbitrariness in such exercises. The judgment focused on ensuring constitutional compliance in delimitation, but the specific outcome is not detailed in the excerpt.
