Supreme Court CEC Appointments Pe Sunwai Karega
Aaj Supreme Court ne Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) aur Election Commissioners ke appointments se judi petitions ki sunwai ke liye 14 May ki date fix kar di hai. Yeh appointments 2023 ke naye law ke under hue hain, jinpe sawal uthaye ja rahe hain.
Prashant Bhushan Ne Ki Jaldi Sunwai Ki Appeal
Advocate Prashant Bhushan ne is case ki jaldi sunwai ki appeal ki thi. Woh ek NGO ki taraf se pesh hue, jo is appointment process ko challenge kar rahi hai. Unhone kaha ki yeh issue 2023 ke Constitution bench verdict ke daayre mein aata hai.
Justices Ne Diya Aashwasan
Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta, aur Ujjal Bhuyan ki bench ne Bhushan ko aashwasan diya ki 14 May ko is case ki sunwai hogi. Iske liye unhone uss din listed ek special bench matter ko cancel kar diya.
2023 Ke Law Par Sawal
Bhushan ne bataya ki yeh matter aaj ki business list mein toh hai, lekin woh chahte hain ki ise top priority di jaye. Isse pehle 19 March ko bhi Supreme Court ne is case ki sunwai ke liye 16 April ki date fix ki thi.
CEC Aur ECs Ke Appointments Ka Process
Mukhya sawal yeh hai ki CEC aur ECs ke appointments ke liye kya process hona chahiye? Kya 2023 ke Constitution bench verdict ko follow kiya jayega, jismein Prime Minister, Leader of Opposition, aur Chief Justice of India shamil panel se appointments hote hain? Ya phir 2023 ka naya law maanya hoga, jismein CJI ko panel se bahar rakha gaya hai?
’Democracy Ka Mazaak’
Bhushan ka kehna hai ki 2023 ke law ke under naye CEC aur EC ki niyukti karke sarkar ‘democracy ka mazaak’ bana rahi hai.
Naye CEC Aur EC
17 February ko sarkar ne EC Gyanesh Kumar ko agla CEC niyukt kiya. Kumar pehle CEC hain jinhe naye law ke under appoint kiya gaya hai. Unka कार्यकाल 26 January, 2029 tak chalega. Vivek Joshi, 1989 batch ke Haryana cadre ke IAS officer, ko bhi election commissioner banaya gaya. Joshi 2031 tak is पद par रहेंगे.
Supreme Court Ka Pehle Ka Faisla
15 March, 2024 ko Supreme Court ne naye ECs ke appointments par rok lagane se inkaar kar diya tha aur sunwai ko aage badha diya tha.
NGO Ne Kiya Challenge
Ek NGO ne CJI ko panel se hataaye jaane ko challenge kiya hai. Unka kehna hai ki Election Commission ko ‘political’ aur ‘executive interference’ se bachana zaroori hai taki democracy healthy rahe.
ADR Ki Yaachika
Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) ki yaachika mein aarop lagaya gaya hai ki Centre ne Supreme Court ke faisle ko bina kisi basis ke badal diya hai. Unhone kaha ki naye law ke under selection committee ka composition executive ke interference ko badhata hai aur Election Commission ki independence ke liye khatarnak hai.
