NEW DELHI, Feb 13: The new law, which calls for the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners to be appointed by a panel that does not include the Chief Justice of India, was not granted a stay of execution by the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The Association for Democratic Reforms, an NGO, filed a plea. A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta noted the case for hearing in April along with other pending petitions on the subject. The bench sent notice to the Centre. The Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023, was challenged in court as not being constitutionally valid.Representing the NGO, attorney Prashant Bhushan argued that the statute goes against the ruling of the Supreme Court's Constitution Bench, which stipulated that the CJI must be present on the committee that chooses the CEC and ECs. He stated that the request will become futile if the law's implementation is not stopped and that two election commissioners are about to retire. Sorry, but we are unable to provide you with temporary relief in this case. The constitutional legitimacy debate is never settled. When Bhushan argued for an interim stay, the bench responded, "We know our parameters for granting interim relief."The new law stipulates that the President will appoint the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners upon the recommendation of a Selection Committee made up of the following members: (a) the Prime Minister, who will serve as Chairperson; (b) the Leader of the Opposition in the House of People, who will serve as Member; and (c) a Union Cabinet Minister, who will be nominated by the Prime Minister, who will serve as Member. According to the plea, the law was passed in 2023 in order to fill the void created by Article 324(2) of the Indian Constitution."On the other hand, the challenged part reinstates the previous legal position, which states that the executive branch alone would appoint the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioner. Prime Ministers and Union Cabinet Ministers who are nominated by the Prime Minister make up the majority of the selection committee, according to the statement.

CHHATTISGARH: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, attacked the BJP-led Centre on Tuesday, saying that while everyone else in the nation was paying taxes and going hungry, a select few were profiting from the "system" in the nation. In Udaipur, in the Surguja district of Chhattisgarh, Gandhi addressed a gathering as part of his 'Bharata Jodo Nyay Yatra'. He claimed that if the people raise their voices against anything, the ED, CBI, and the I-T department will take action against them. He asserted that the nation's citizens were being treated unfairly around-the-clock, which was the reason for the violence and hatred that was spreading. Maybe it has been going on for so long that people aren't even aware of it.Gandhi claimed that it had turned into a habit. "You (the people) need to ask yourself three times a day how much money you are receiving from the national coffers on a daily basis. How much you are receiving in return for your day's worth of work and suffering. You will discover in ten days that a system is abandoning you, and the PM is in charge of it ", he said. "No one from the 73% population group—which includes the underprivileged from the general category, Dalits and tribal people, and the backward classes—exists in that system. Gandhi asserted, "Under that system, 100–200...1000–2000 people are benefiting while the rest of the people just watch, starve to death, and pay GST." 'Nyay' (justice) was thus added to the Bharat Jodo Yatra, he remarked. The head of Congress motioned for one of the men in the crowd to get into his car and gave an explanation of how the "system" is supposed to be hitting the people the hardest. What would be the first thing to do if this person went to a market and two or three persons decided to steal his wallet? He stated. "The first individual, the thief, will take his focus elsewhere. You are being mislead in this way. Then the second individual shows up and takes the wallet. Demonetisation and GST are equivalent (act). Finally, the third person—the thief—slaps you twice if you make any noise. Gandhi said, "If you are a small shopkeeper and you voice your disagreement, the CBI, I-T, and ED will come."
NEW DELHI: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha stated on Tuesday that while there are a few groups attempting to sow discord and misunderstanding regarding J&K, there is no need to take notice of, support, or associate with them, without identifying any regional political parties. Reporters were interacting with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha outside the 'J&K Sambaav' event at Prithvi Raj Road in New Delhi.

Additionally, foreign visitor arrivals have increased by 2.5 percent, according to LG Sinha. In response to a question, LG Sinha stated that the goal of J&K Paharis receiving reservations was to integrate them into society so they could contribute to the development of the country."Those who remained in earlier decades made an attempt to integrate them into society at large. If we want to turn India into a Viksit Bharat, I think everyone should have a part to play," he stated.
