The Chief Justice of India shall not be part of the Committee to select the Chief Election Commissioner/Election Commissioners. The third member should be jointly chosen by the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, and in case they fail to arrive at a consensus, the Vice-President shall be the third member.

Why the basic structure is a fraud on the constitution – explained in a few words
Mathews j nedumpara 98205 35428 14th September 2025 I am often asked why I call the “basic structure” a laughable theory. I can answer this in a few words by citing an example. If one were to invoke Article 32 prior to Kesavananda Bharati, the judges would unfailingly ask “why are you here? And […]
