BREAKING: Supreme Court Refuses Interim Suspension of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, Issues Notice to ECI

The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, issued notice to the Election Commission of India over allegations that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar took key decisions unilaterally without the required consensus of the other two Election Commissioners.

The bench indicated it could recall those decisions if the claim is proven, while refusing any interim order to suspend the CEC. A petition seeking his suspension and prosecution over the controversial SIR decisions is being heard.
