PoliticsSupreme Court Split Verdict on Election Commission Appointment Panel
The Supreme Court delivered a split verdict on the government’s law altering the Election Commission of India (ECI) appointment panel. The 2023 Anoop Baranwal judgment proposed a three-member panel including the Prime Minister, Leader of Opposition, and Chief Justice of India. The new law replaced the Chief Justice with a Union minister, prompting concerns over the panel’s independence. The case is now referred to the Chief Justice for a constitutional bench formation.
