Reservation of seats for SC,ST
Husne Mubarak
(Querist) 22 January 2011
This query is : Resolved
Sir,
Art.334(a) says that:
"the reservation of seats for the Schedule Castes and the Schedule Tribes in the House of the People and in the legislative Assemblies of the States....
........Shall cease to have effect on the expiration of a period of sixty years from the commencement of this constitution."
Sir,in this context, I have the following queries:
Q1: Has there been any recent amendment to this Article?
If not.....,
Q2: Sixty years from the commencement of this constitution means upto year 2010. Since we are in 2011 now, does it mean in the coming Legislative Assembly elections to be held in 2011 in West bengal, Assam etc., there will be no reservation for SC,ST candidates?
I shall always remain grateful to you for your guidance.
With regards
Husne Mubarak

It is further extended to 10 years by 109th amendment. So the total years is 70 years.

Thank you Sir.
But, whenever I search in google for recent amendment or 109th amendment in constitution, it just shows 109th amendment bill.
May I know, when the Bill has been passed and published in the official gazzete.
I will be very grateful to you for your guidance.
With regards
Husne Mubarak
