Plea seeks protection for ECs from removal
Context:
- The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre and the Election Commission of India to file their responses on a plea pointing out the vagueness in the procedure for the removal of two Election Commissioners.
Different views:
- According to the petition this affects the top poll body’s autonomy.
- A Bench led by Chief Justice Dipak Misra asked the Centre to file its response.
- Attorney-General K.K. Venugopal informed the court that he and the government may hold different views on the issue.
- Thus, the court gave the Centre and the top poll body four weeks to file their replies.
