CJI Surya Kant to weigh challenges over election commissioner appointments

Original: सूर्यकांत

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said the Supreme Court will consider and decide on a challenge to the law governing the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners, including Gyanesh Kumar. The appointments, made under a 2023 law, have been questioned in a petition that argues the process is flawed. The court also recently declined a full ban on firecrackers on October 10, leaving relief for protesters unclear.

Why now: Surya Kant's remarks signal the Supreme Court may revisit the controversial process for appointing India's top election officials.
