Curative Petition Seeks Recall of Supreme Court Verdict on Election Commissioners Appointment Law
A curative petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking recall of the September 23 split verdict on the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023. The petition, filed by Jaya Thakur and others, raises concerns over judicial propriety, citing that Justice Satish Chandra Sharma did not disclose his son’s role as standing counsel for the Election Commission of India before the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The plea argues this creates a reasonable apprehension of bias and requests a fresh hearing before an appropriate bench.
