$104^{th}$ Amendment Act, 2019
104th Amendment: Anglo-Indian Nomination Abolished
The specific Constitutional Amendment Act that abolished the provision for nominating members from the Anglo-Indian community to the State Legislative Assemblies is the $104^{th}$ Amendment Act, 2019.
This amendment served a dual purpose:
- It extended the reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in both the Lok Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies for a period of 10 years.
- Crucially, it ended the legal provision that allowed the nomination of members from the Anglo-Indian community to these legislative bodies. This effectively removed the special representation previously granted to this community.
Therefore, the $104^{th}$ Amendment Act, 2019 is the correct act that discontinued the nomination of Anglo-Indian members in State Legislative Assemblies.
