Election Commission Shouldnt Be "Yes Man" Of Government: Supreme Court

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that people manning the Election Commission of India should not be "yes man" of the government but "independent who can act independently" even if it comes to taking on the Prime Minister. A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Justice KM Joseph emphasised that the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and the Election Commissioners should be "procedure-based and transparent". In a hypothetical poser to the government, the bench asked, "Do you think the Election Commissioner... if he is asked to take on none less than the Prime Minister, it's just example, and he doesn't come around to doing it - will it not be a case of complete breakdown of the system?" The top court was hearing pleas challenging the constitutionality of the present appointment process of CEC and ECs and contended that appointments were being done as per the whims of the executive.
