‘Virtually no debate in Parliament’: SC hears plea challenging EC, CEC appointment law The Supreme Court heard arguments challenging the 2023 law on appointing Election Commissioners, which replaced the CJI with a Union minister on the selection panel. Petitioners argued the law undermines the Election Commission's autonomy and was passed with minimal debate due to MP suspensions. The court questioned its power to direct Parliament on lawmaking. #Supreme_Court #Union_minister #selection_panel #plea_challenging #heard_arguments #Election_Commissioners #CEC_appointment #arguments_challenging #appointing_Election #hears_plea
Supreme Court questions limits of judicial scrutiny under Article 25 The Supreme Court heard arguments on whether religious practices, like the nudity of Digambar Jain sadhus, can be banned. The Travancore Devaswom Board argued that courts shouldn't judge core religious tenets, citing a Nepal SC ruling on Naga Sadhus. The board emphasized that a community's belief determines religious practice, not external adjudication. #Supreme_Court #Supreme #Court_heard #Court_questions #Digambar_Jain #Jain_sadhus #questions_limits #judicial_scrutiny #heard_arguments #Naga_Sadhus
