A petition filed by Rakesh Kumar Singh claims that CEC Gyanesh Kumar has been making key decisions; including launching the controversial SIR (Special Intensive Revision) exercise; without full Commission approval. Two other Election Commissioners allegedly raised 14 objections between 2025 and 2026, questioning everything from changes to voter forms to massive appeals filed in West Bengal. The petition argues that under the 2023 law, the ECI must function as a team; decisions need to be unanimous or passed by majority. If that’s not happening, then every order signed by the CEC alone might be legally invalid. The Court has already agreed to list the case early; a sign it’s taking this seriously. What happens next? The petition wants all ECI records opened up, the CEC temporarily suspended, and even an independent judicial probe. If the Court sides with the petitioner, it could mean a major reset in how elections are managed in India; not just for the next vote, but for years to come. This isn’t just about one person. It’s about whether the pillars of Indian democracy are still working the way they’re supposed to.
