Gyanesh Kumar Row | "Need Poll Body's Response": Supreme Court On Plea Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar
The Supreme Court on Monday made it clear: it cannot pass an order based on a newspaper report, and will need a response from the Election Commission before deciding if the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar can single-handedly exercise powers constitutionally designated for the entire multi-member poll panel. A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant issued notice to the Election Commission, seeking their response on the allegations that Chief Election Commissioner took decisions unilaterally in the poll body, without consensus from the two other Election Commissioners.
