Supreme Court asks if there was a ‘proper debate’ in Parliament before enacting CEC/EC appointments law

Published by Parlour News

Supreme Court of India. File. | Photo Credit: SUSHIL KUMAR VERMA The Supreme Court on Thursday (May 7, 2026) asked if there had been a “proper debate” in the Parliament about the “ethos” of its 2023 judgment that took the appointment of members of the Election Commission of India out of the exclusive hands of the political executive, namely, “the party which not unnaturally has an interest in perpetuating itself in power”. In a 2023 judgment in Anoop Baranwal versus Union of India, a Constitution Bench of the court had replaced the mechanism of the President appointing the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners on the sole advice of the Prime Minister with a more participatory appointment process involving a three-member selection committee of the Prime Minister, the Opposition Leader in the Lok Sabha, and the Chief Justice of India.

Satheesan has alleged that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Governor Arif Mohammed Khan are playing a cat-and-mouse game by blaming each other even though they are “hand-in-glove as seen on various occasions earlier.” “This is the same Chief Minister who bowed before the Governor in order to appoint his nominee as the Vice-Chancellor of Kannur University. He had also ratified the appointment of a noted leader of the Sangh Parivar in the office of the Governor, ignoring our opposition to it,” Mr. Satheesan told mediapersons in Kochi on December 13 (Wednesday). Mr. Satheesan alleged that the Chief Minister prompted the Governor to perform “illegal actions” and then ditched him when it went wrong (referring to the Supreme Court decision to quash the appointment of Gopinath Ravindran as Vice-Chancellor of Kannur University.) “The public will realise their political drama as the Chief Minister and the Ministers, who had joined sides with the Governor earlier, are now lamenting …
