The Supreme Court is hearing pleas on the appointment of Chief Election Commissioners and Election Commissioners (ECs) under the 2023 law today.
According to these rules, the Chief Election Commissioners and Election Commissioners will be appointed by the President on the recommendation of a selection committee consisting of PM Modi as the Chairperson, a cabinet minister nominated by the PM – Amit Shah, and the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha. The law was challenged in the Supreme Court as the three-member panel allowed the Centre a dominant role.
