Breaking: Supreme Court directs that the appointment of an election commissioner shall be on the recommendation of a committee comprising the PM, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and the CJI.
The committee will function till the time Parliament enacts a law in this regard.
Same shall also be applicable for the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner.
The Court also emphasises that the grounds for removal of the EC should be same as that for CEC.
In a concurring judgment, J. Rastogi holds all #ElectionCommission members must enjoy the same security of tenure i.e. their conditions of service can't be varied to their disadvantage post appointment, and process of removal shall be same as that of a Supreme Court judge.
Here’s the link to the Supreme Court’s judgment on the appointment of Election Commissioners.
