Why does that matter? Because it’s not just about who gets the job; it’s about whether India’s election watchdog can stay truly independent. One judge says a cabinet minister can’t be expected to stand up to the Prime Minister; which means the system might look controlled, not neutral. The other judge says this is too big a constitutional question for just two people to decide. So now, it’s up to the Chief Justice to pick a bigger bench. And if you’re preparing for UPSC or any govt job, this is more than legal jargon; it’s about how laws shape democracy itself. Watch this space. The next decision could change how India chooses the people who choose its democracy.
