The Supreme Court dismissed applications seeking a stay on the appointment of two new Election Commissioners under the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023, after the Centre filed an affidavit opposing the applications. The Court questioned the Centre over the rapid selection process but refused to stay the new law, emphasizing that it would lead to chaos. The Centre defended the appointments, asserting that the new election commissioners are independent and highlighting that for 73 years, ECs were appointed exclusively by the government. The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to file a response within six weeks on the petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Act. The matter of the constitutional validity of the Act and the procedure adopted for the appointment of the commissioners will be examined in detail later, with the Court currently focusing on interim relief as elections are approaching.
