SC delivers split verdict on appointment law of Election Commissioners
SC delivered a split verdict on whether challenges to the 2023 law governing the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners should be referred to a larger Constitution bench. Justice Dipankar Datta held that a reference was not warranted, while Justice Satish Chandra Sharma favoured a five-judge bench, prompting both judges to refer the matter to CJI Surya Kant.
