Bill on EC appointments may not be taken up in this session: Sources
Monday, 18 September 2023
The government may not push for the passage of a bill on the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and election commissioners in the ongoing session of Parliament. The bill, which has faced criticism from opposition leaders and former chief election commissioners, may be referred to the standing committee on law and justice. Critics argue that the bill undermines the autonomy of the Election Commission by equating its members to bureaucrats rather than Supreme Court judges.
