Supreme Court to Hear Plea Challenging Election Commission Decisions Under CEC Gyanesh Kumar
The Supreme Court will hear next week a petition challenging the decision-making process of the Election Commission of India under Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The plea alleges that decisions, particularly regarding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, were taken without the required unanimous or majority approval of the multi-member Commission. Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi reportedly objected multiple times to decisions made without their consent. The Election Commission denies these claims, stating decisions were unanimous and letters concerned administrative matters. The court will examine the statutory framework governing the Commission's collective functioning.
