CJI Declines Opposition Meeting on Election Issues Amid Judicial and Parliamentary Developments
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant declined a request from Opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge to discuss allegations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar related to the Special Intensive Revision process and protests in Delhi, citing judicial neutrality. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court issued a split verdict on the 2023 law governing CEC appointments, delaying a final decision. The Court also clarified it had not approved recent changes to voter enrolment forms. Separately, concerns arose over the boundaries of interaction between Parliament and the judiciary amid proposed constitutional amendments.
