CJI recuses from hearing pleas on CEC appointment

The law excludes the CJI from the selection panel, a move that petitioners claim undermines the independence of the Election Commission of India.

"I will have to decide if I will be a member of the panel," remarked Justice Khanna, explaining his decision to step back from the case to avoid a conflict of interest, as the outcome directly impacts his own potential role. The case will now be heard by a different bench in January 2025.

The Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023, enacted in December 2023, introduced a new framework for appointing the CEC and ECs.

Big loss for India in Brisbane ODI

India may be looking to fill their top-order void, but the first ODI against Australia was far from providing the answers. A mindless flash from Smriti Mandhana, followed by a miscued shot from Priya Punia and an excellent catch from Annabel Sutherland to dismiss Harleen Deol, meant India had lost their top three for just 42, with Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues again summoned to salvage their innings. This time they failed.
