CJI to consider plea on CEC law split verdict

Chief Justice Surya Kant will consider a plea to recall the split verdict in the Chief Election Commissioner appointments case.
The plea asks the court to look again at the divided ruling on the law that governs how the CEC and Election Commissioners are picked.
The case matters because it decides how fair the selection of top poll officials is. The current law was passed after an earlier Supreme Court ruling.
A split verdict means the judges on the bench did not agree. Such cases often go to a larger bench for a final answer.
The Chief Justice will decide when and how the plea is heard. No date has been fixed yet.
The outcome could change how India’s election watchdog is staffed. Opposition parties have long raised concerns about the process.
The matter is expected to be taken up in the coming weeks. The court’s final call could reshape how poll officials are chosen in India.
