SC: Case on EC appointments 'test of power of legislature vs court'

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 8 January 2025
The Supreme Court is set to decide on the legitimacy of the 2023 law altering the selection panel for chief election commissioner (CEC) and ECs, contrasting Parliament's legislative power with SC’s authority. The court's previous order outlined a panel including the PM, LoP, and CJI, but Parliament replaced the CJI with a Union minister, raising concerns about EC independence.
