Bill on EC appointments may not be taken up in this session: Sources

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.
