Описание: Supreme Court Split Verdict On CEC Appointment Law, 5-Judge Bench Next | News9

The Supreme Court has delivered a split verdict on whether petitions challenging the 2023 law governing the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners should be heard by a larger Constitution Bench. Justices Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra Sharma differed on whether the petitions raise a substantial question of constitutional interpretation requiring a five-judge bench. The challenge concerns the 2023 law that replaced the earlier selection mechanism and removed the Chief Justice of India from the selection panel, which now comprises the Prime Minister, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and a Union Cabinet Minister nominated by the Prime Minister. The petitioners have questioned the impact of the new arrangement on the independence of the Election Commission, while the Centre has defended Parliament’s authority to legislate under Article 324. Following the split verdict, the matter has been placed before the Chief Justice for further consideration of the larger-bench issue.
