Supreme Court to hear pleas against Chief Election Commissioner

The Supreme Court is set to hear petitions challenging Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the decisions executed during the SIR.

Ahead of the proceedings, the Election Commission of India submitted a joint affidavit to the court. The document was filed collectively by the statutory body, Kumar, and the country's two other Election Commissioners.

The joint submission addresses the pending litigation, explicitly highlighting that any effort to restrain the functioning of the Chief Election Commissioner would be contrary to the law.
