A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Justice K M Joseph said it wants to know whether there was any "hanky panky" in Goel's appointment as election commissioner as he was only recently given voluntary retirement from service.
The Bench rejected the objections of Attorney General (AG) R Venkataramani on the court willing to see the file while the hearing is on.
Venkataramani told the Bench, also comprising justices Ajay Rastogi, Aniruddha Bose, Hrishikesh Roy, and CTRavikumar, that it is dealing with the larger issue of appointment of ECs and the chief election commissioner (CEC) and it cannot look at an individual case flagged by advocate Prashant Bhushan.
