SC to hear on 16 April pleas challenging law on appointment of CEC and ECs
March 20, 2025
|The Statesman Bhubaneswar
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would hear on April 16 a batch of petitions challenging the validity of the law governing the appointment of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners, which dropped the Chief Justice of India from the panel for the selection of CEC and the Election Commissioners.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the NGO Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), mentioned the matter before a bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice Nongmeikapam Kotishwar Singh, requesting for a priority hearing of the matter on another day as the matter, though listed today, was unlikely to be taken up due to the court's packed schedule.
Bhushan told the bench that the petitioner NGOs would not take long in presenting its arguments.
