Supreme Court Considers Larger Bench Plea in Election Commissioners Act Case
The Supreme Court is hearing challenges to the Election Commissioners Act, which replaced the Chief Justice of India with a minister in the selection panel for the Chief Election Commissioner. The bench questioned the necessity of a larger bench to hear the case and asked the Centre to first argue the merits. The court has reserved its order on whether to refer the constitutional issues raised to a Constitution Bench, debating if every constitutional matter requires such reference.
