SC to hear on February 4 pleas challenging constitutional validity of law on appointment of CEC, ECs



Several individuals, including Congress leader Jaya Thakur, and NGOs such as the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), and Lok Prahari, have approached the court, challenging the validity of the 2023 Act. They have sought a stay on the operation of Section 7 of the Act, which excludes the CJI from the selection panel for the CEC and ECs.The petitioners argued that the previous system, which included the CJI as a member of the selection panel, safeguarded the autonomy of the institution.”The 2023 Act was enacted in response to a Supreme Court ruling that called for insulating the process of appointing Election Commissioners from executive influence, recommending the inclusion of the CJI in the selection panel. The new legislation, however, diverges from this suggestion, raising concerns about potential political interference in the selection process,” the petitions stated.
