For TN loss of 2 LS seats in '60s, HC moots 5,600cr in damages

If Tamil Nadu has unfairly paid the price for controlling population growth by having its Lok Sabha seats reduced by two, is there a way to compensate for that? The Madras High Court has come out with a formula that pegs monetary compensation to the state at Rs 5,600 crore. Till 1962, Tamil Nadu had 41 Lok Sabha members. The number got reduced to 39 ahead of the 1967 general polls because the state had successfully controlled its population growth by then. Via Times of India https://ift.tt/2hJjhqE
