Justice DY Chandrachud led bench of the #SupremeCourt to shortly hear appeal by Election Commission against Madras HC observations that @ECISVEEP is singularly responsible for the #COVID19 situation in India and that it should probably be put on "murder charges" Image
The plea is an appeal against an April 30 order of Madras High Court which had refused to entertain ECI's petition in this regard.
The ECI sought directions to be issued to media houses to confine their reports to observations recorded in orders or judgments and to refrain from reporting on oral observations made during court proceedings in a case concerning COVID protocol for vote counting in Tamil Nadu.

"You are responsible for the situation today. No action against political parties taking rallies despite every order of the Court. Your election commission should be put up on murder charges probably," High Court had orally remarked on April 26.

ECI has now stated that media reports on these comments have tarnished the image of the ECI as an independent constitutional agency that is entrusted with the constitutional responsibility of conducting elections.

PIL against #ElectionCommission which has failed to check the rampant practice of false affidavits is listed for tomorrow , Delhi HC, Item no. 8, Court No 1. Renjtih Thomas v. ECI & Ors. Will ECI will conduct an inquiry against @rajeev_mp?
@barandbench
bit.ly/2K3VOOe
@rajeev_mp is one MP who may have filed false affidavit but the larger question is what is the #ElectionCommissionofIndia doing as a constitutional body to ensure that politician across spectrum disclose true information about their assets?
@IJaising @karunanundy @svaradarajan
Voters of India have a fundamental right to know the antecedents of their candidates under Art. 19 (1) (a). But #ElectionCommisisonofIndia says : go to local criminal court. I can, but majority of people can't take on sitting candidates. What is the duty of #ECI then? @sunetrac
