How does the Legislature ensure that the number of seats reserved for these groups is representative of their population within the Municipal area?
The Legislature ensures that the number of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes is representative of their population within the Municipal area by reserving seats in every Municipality, with the number of such seats bearing, as nearly as may be, the same proportion to the total number of seats to be filled by direct election in that Municipality as the population of these groups in the Municipal area bears to the total population of that area. Additionally, they make provisions for a rotating system where these seats are allotted to different constituencies within the Municipality.
