“Nosional, MP contributions in five years can be taken as Rs 200 Crore, although it cannot be monetaryly determined.
Therefore, for each election since 1967, Tamil Nadu must be compensated by RS 400 Crore for a reduction in two MP seats, which amounts to RS 5600 Crore, “Bench said.
Asking the Union Government why the representation of Lok Sabha TN cannot be recovered to 41 of the next general election, the bench is also Suo Motu opposed the top 10 political parties, including DMK and the main opposition AIA-DMK, to offer them responses.
