The Centre told the Supreme Court that it is wrong to assume the PM will act against democracy, responding to a challenge over the exclusion of the CJI from the CEC selection panel.
A five-judge Constitution bench ruled in March 2023 that the CEC and election commissioners shall be appointed on the advice of a committee comprising the prime minister, the LoP in the Lok Sabha, and the CJI.
The current challenge questions the exclusion of the CJI from the selection committee, contrary to the earlier ruling.
