This plea, brought forth by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), sought relief against the provision dictating the process for appointing the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners.
Advocate on Record Prashant Bhushan, representing the non-profit organization, mentioned the plea before the bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Dipankar Datta, and Prashant Kumar Mishra, urging for an urgent hearing, particularly following the resignation of Election Commissioner Arun Goel.
