#CECGyaneshKumar matter taken up

Sr Adv Vikas Singh (for petitioner): Kindly see S.10 of the Act that was there initially in 1991...the distinction made in 2023 Act...how with 2023 Act ECI authority has been enlarged..."the ECI may by unanimous regulate procedure for transaction of its business"...now please see 2018 Act...this was interpreted by Anoop Baranwal judgment. It's now superseded by 2023 Act and there's a split verdict. Some interim measures are required. Credibility of ECI so undermined that every citizen feeling unsafe.

CJI: What's the substituted provision?

Singh: Protection of CEC and ECs...ECI more powerful today than any other constitutional authority!
