As Parliament may by law determine

As Parliament may by law determine Constitution of India, Articles 82, 170, 332 The leverage given by constitutional mandate by reason of inclusion of the words "readjusted by such authority and in such manner as Parliament may by law determine" depicts the intent of Parliament as to its true effect. It is an enabling provision for adjustment of seats in accordance with the need of the situation. This authorization as contained in Articles 82 and 170 stands out to be an enabling provision for incorporating sub-article (3-B) under Article 332. Be it noted that proportionality though mainly dependent upon the basis of population but it cannot always be done with arithmetical precision and mathematical nicety. The provision incorporated "as Parliament may be law determine" stands out to be an enabling provision to meet the exigencies of the Constitution. (Subrata Acharjee v. Union of India, (2002) 2 SCC 725 (734)
