The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Centre and the Election Commission regarding a PIL challenging the lifetime immunity granted to the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners (ECs) under the 2023 Act. The petitioner argues this provision provides unprecedented, blanket immunity from civil and criminal proceedings for official actions, exceeding constitutional limits. The court agreed to examine the plea, questioning if such immunity aligns with the constitutional framework, but refused to stay the provision.
