Dr. Jaya Thakur vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutional validity of the 2023 Act concerning the selection of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners, holding that the process violated principles of fairness and transparency as mandated by Article 324(2) of the Constitution. The Court found that the Leader of Opposition was not given adequate information to participate effectively in the selection process, undermining democratic principles. Consequently, the appointments made under the 2023 Act were deemed improper, necessitating a review of the selection process.
