SC pulls up UP IAS

In the wake of the resignation of Election Commissioner Arun Goel and the retirement of Anup Chandra Pandey, a plea has been filed in the Supreme Court. The petition calls for the Centre to be restrained from appointing new election commissioners in accordance with the provisions of the 2023 law, which is currently under challenge in the apex court.

Citing Section 7 and 8 of the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners (Appointment Conditions of Service and Terms of Office) Act 2023, the plea seeks judicial intervention. Additionally, the plea urges the court to direct the appointment of a member of the election commission in accordance with the Arup Baranwal judgment.

Election Commission of India

Reports suggest that by March 15, two new election commissioners are expected to be appointed to fill the void left by the retirement of Anup Chandra Pandey and the unexpected resignation of Arun Goel. The Prime Minister-led selection committee for the appointment of Election Commission members is anticipated to convene on either March 14 or 15 to choose candidates for the vacant posts.

Originally slated for March 15 to address Pandey’s retirement, the selection panel’s meeting might be rescheduled to March 14 due to the emergence of a second vacancy caused by Goel’s exit. Adhur Ranjan Chowdhary, the Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, who is a part of the selection committee along with a cabinet minister nominated by the Prime Minister, has been informed about the potential meeting.

Potential candidates being considered include Sanjay Kumar Mishra (Retd IRS IT: 1984), former Chief of the Enforcement Directorate, P C Mody (Retd IRS IT: 1982), former CBDT Chief, and JB Mohapatra (Retd IRS IT L: 1985). Dinkar Gupta (IPS: 1986: PB), the current NIA Chief, and other retired or soon-to-retire IAS officers like Radha S Chauhan (IAS: 1988: UP) are also circulating as possible nominees in the Poll Panel.

It’s worth noting that the Modi government has a history of surprising selections for highly speculated and discussed positions. Sources indicate that approximately 30 officers from various services and batches are actively vying for these coveted positions.

Election Commissioner Arun Goel resigns days before Lok Sabha election schedule announcement

Election Commissioner Arun Goel (Retd.IAS:1985:PB) submitted his resignation on Saturday, March 9, 2024. The Law Ministry confirmed the immediate acceptance of his resignation by President Droupadi Murmu. Arun Goel, poised to succeed as the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) upon the retirement of current CEC Rajiv Kumar (Retd.IAS:1984:JH) in February 2025, has left the specific reason for his resignation undisclosed.

Having joined the Election Commission on November 21, 2022, Mr. Goel’s departure, though unexpected, has left the Election Commission with only one member, CEC Rajiv Kumar, following the retirement of Election Commissioner Anup Pandey in February. The unexpected vacancy in the Commission raises complexity in its preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. The Commission, engaged in assessing poll readiness across all States and Union Territories, faces challenges as it was scheduled to visit Jammu and Kashmir from March 11 to March 13 at this crucial juncture.
