Supreme Court Judge Comments on Election Commissioner Selection Process
Justice Dipankar Datta of the Supreme Court made a significant comment regarding the selection of Election Commissioners. In a dissenting opinion, he stated that the role of the Leader of the Opposition in the selection process has become merely decorative. He used an analogy of a cricket match, comparing the situation to a winning captain choosing the umpire, suggesting that even if the umpire's decisions are correct, doubts may arise about their impartiality.
