How has it influenced the application of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution (Amendment) Act, 2003?
The amendments to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution have influenced its application in the State of Assam by inserting new provisions and modifying existing ones. For example, Paragraph 10 has been amended with a new sub-paragraph (4) that excludes the Bodoland Territorial Council constituted under the proviso to sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph 2 from its application. Similarly, Paragraph 12 has been amended twice, first in 1995 and then in 2003, to extend its coverage to include matters specified in paragraph 3A or 3B of the Schedule. These changes have affected the jurisdiction, powers, and responsibilities of the various regional councils established under the Sixth Schedule in Assam.
