The Supreme Court has directed the Election Commission to furnish details of pleas that have been decided by tribunals.
The Supreme Court today directed the Election Commission of India (EC) to provide a comprehensive list of all election-related pleas that have been adjudicated by tribunals.
The directive, issued in a written order, requires the EC to submit details such as the nature of each plea, the tribunal that decided it, and the final outcome. This information is intended to aid the Court in assessing the impact of tribunal decisions on the electoral process.
The move follows concerns about transparency and consistency in how election petitions are handled across the country. By obtaining a clear record, the Court aims to ensure that all parties have access to the same information before any further legal action is taken.
The EC has been asked to comply within a specified timeframe, after which the Court will review the submitted data and decide on any further steps. The order underscores the judiciary’s role in overseeing electoral integrity.
