Delimitation Commission Of India

Both statements are correct about the Delimitation Commission in India. **Statement 1 is correct:** The Delimitation Commission's orders are final and have the force of law. This means they cannot be challenged in any court. **Statement 2 is correct:** Once the Delimitation Commission finalizes its orders and lays them before the Parliament (Lok Sabha) or the respective State Legislative Assembly, these legislative bodies cannot modify the orders. Their role is simply to acknowledge the new delimitation.

* Delimitation commissions have been set up four times in the past — 1953, 1962, 1972 and 2002 — under Delimitation Commission Acts of 1952, 1962, 1972 and 2002.  * The Delimitation Commission is appointed by the President of India and works in collaboration with the Election Commission of India.
