Are there any mechanisms in place to ensure fairness and impartiality during the process of dividing Panchayat areas into territorial constituencies?
Yes, there are mechanisms in place to ensure fairness and impartiality during the process of dividing Panchayat areas into territorial constituencies. The context states that "each Panchayat area shall be divided into territorial constituencies in such manner that the ratio between the population of each constituency and the number of seats allotted to it shall, so far as practicable, be the same throughout the Panchayat area." This ensures that each constituency within a Panchayat area is given fair representation based on its population. Additionally, the process may be subject to legal provisions enacted by the State's Legislature for ensuring representation of various stakeholders as mentioned in (3) (a) - (d) of the context.
