Supreme Court to Hear Petition Challenging Election Commission Decisions Under CEC Gyanesh Kumar
The Supreme Court of India will hear next week a petition challenging Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's decision-making within the Election Commission of India (ECI). The plea alleges that decisions, particularly regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, were taken without the unanimous or majority approval of the three-member Commission, as required by law. Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi reportedly objected to several decisions. The ECI denies unilateral decision-making, stating objections related to administrative matters. The petition seeks suspension of the CEC and judicial scrutiny of the Commission's functioning.
