Parliamentary Panel's Planned Meeting with Supreme Court on Simultaneous Polls Canceled
The Joint Parliamentary Committee on simultaneous polls planned a meeting with Supreme Court judges to seek informal views on the constitutional amendment bill. DMK MP P. Wilson defended the move, citing precedents and arguing it did not breach separation of powers. Opposition MP Kapil Sibal criticized the plan as unconstitutional. The Supreme Court initially agreed but later canceled the meeting, considering the issue might become a subject of judicial review. Panel chairperson P.P. Chaudhary upheld the committee's intent and noted the cancellation followed public concerns.
