Supreme Court to Hear Pleas Seeking Suspension of CEC Gyanesh Kumar Over Poll Panel Decisions
The Supreme Court is set to hear pleas on October 5 seeking the suspension of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Petitioners allege Kumar made at least 14 decisions related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls without the approval of the other two Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. The pleas challenge Kumar's unilateral actions, including software changes and guidelines, and request an independent investigation. The Election Commission has denied these claims, stating all decisions were unanimous.
