Allahabad HC Dismisses Challenge to Alapur Assembly Seat Reservation
The Allahabad High Court dismissed a petition challenging the 2006 delimitation and reservation of the Alapur Assembly seat for Scheduled Castes in Uttar Pradesh's Ambedkar Nagar district. The petitioner argued population disparities among constituencies and questioned Alapur's reservation status based on its Scheduled Caste population. The court ruled the challenge was delayed and found no constitutional violation, noting that population-seat parity is required only "so far as practicable," allowing consideration of geographical and administrative factors.
