The Supreme Court of India has scheduled a hearing for May 14 regarding pleas challenging the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners (ECs) under a new law enacted in 2023. This law controversially removed the Chief Justice of India from the panel responsible for appointing the CEC and ECs. The court's decision to hear the case follows a plea that questions the legality of this legislative change.
