Supreme Court Declines to Intervene in Election Commission’s Base Year Decision

The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in the Election Commission’s decision to fix the base year for electoral calculations. The court held that the matter falls within the purview of the Election Commission and is not a question of judicial review. The ruling clarifies that the Election Commission retains autonomy in setting the base year for voter rolls and related metrics. Analysts say the move reinforces the separation of powers between the judiciary and the electoral authority.
