Supreme Court Rejects Plea for Rotation of SC ST Reserved Constituencies, Defers to Parliament
The Supreme Court of India dismissed a plea seeking mandatory rotation of constituencies reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in Parliament and state assemblies. The petitioner challenged the continued reservation of certain constituencies, such as Uttar Pradesh's Kadipur, arguing it limited electoral choices and benefited a few families. The Court upheld the Delimitation Act, 2002, stating that decisions on rotation fall within Parliament's legislative domain, not the judiciary. Chief Justice Surya Kant suggested the petitioner raise the issue through protests and legislative advocacy.
