What is the issue?• Ambiguity in the appointment process of Election Commissioners as it is

presently the exclusive power of the executive.• Thus, PIL filed by Anoop Baranwal seeks an “independent mechanism for

appointment of ECs”, say formation of a collegium to fill in the “gap in thelaw”.

• Not appointing ECs independently is violative of Article 14 of the IndianConstitution.

SC May 2017 hearing• The then Chief Justice Khehar bench observed that it is bound to

intervene to achieve the constitutional objective of Article 324 (2).
