The Supreme Court of India has scheduled a hearing on April 16, 2025, regarding a challenge to a law that alters the appointment process for the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners (ECs). This law, passed by Parliament, notably excludes the Chief Justice of India (CJI) from the appointment panel, a move that has drawn criticism and prompted multiple petitions. The upcoming hearing will address these petitions and the implications of the law on the independence of the Election Commission.
