EXPLANATION

  • The 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976 is the one that froze the delimitation of parliamentary and assembly constituencies based on population figures until the year 2000.

  • This was done to encourage family planning and population control, so that states with successful population control measures wouldn’t lose representation.

  • Later, the 84th Amendment (2001) extended the freeze further until 2026, but the initial freeze until 2000 was by the 42nd Amendment.
