Balasaheb Thackeray had declared that the country needs such a Chief Election Commissioner who has the ability to work impartially in protecting the Constitution without any pressure. If the Election Commission will also work under pressure then how will the future of democracy be safe. This is the reason why the Supreme Court has remembered TN Seshan today.
Need to improve the method of appointment, EC is under pressure, this is the reality
The Supreme Court, while hearing a petition regarding the transparency of the functioning of the Election Commission, expressed concern over the situation in the country and recalled T.N. Seshan, who was the only Chief Election Commissioner who was crushed by any pressure. could not go The Supreme Court said that the procedures for the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners should be reformed in Parliament, so that the Election Commission can remain fair and independent.

A five-judge bench is hearing the petition. Justice in these. Ajay Rastogi, Justice. Aniruddha Bose, Justice. Hrishikesh Roy and Ny. CT Ravikumar is included. SC said that we are not interfering in the work of Parliament and will not interfere. But there is a need to improve the process of appointment of members of the Election Commission. Because its effect is visible on the functioning of the Election Commission.
These reforms will be done in the recruitment process, only then fairness will remain intact
It has been advised to form an independent collegium for the appointment of members of the Election Commission and it has been said to involve the Chief Justice. At present the commissioner of the Election Commission is appointed by the President on the advice of the cabinet. In Article 324(2) of the Constitution, instructions have been given to make a law for the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners.
But this has not been done even after several decades. This has happened because the ruling party has always wanted to maintain its influence on the Election Commission. There is no bar on Chief Election Commissioners from holding office of profit after retirement. In such a situation, the desire of getting something from the government may remain for the election commissioners after retirement. When the process is flawless, there will be no interference of the government in it, only then the Election Commission will be able to remain impartial.
