印度首席大法官回避审理针对一项改变选举委员会任命的新法律的请愿。 India's Chief Justice recuses himself from hearing petitions against a new law altering election commission appointments.

印度首席大法官Sanjiv Khanna不再听取对一项新法律提出异议的请愿,该项新法律将首席大法官排除在负责任命首席选举专员和其他选举专员的小组之外。 India's Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna has recused himself from hearing petitions challenging a new law that excludes the Chief Justice from the panel responsible for appointing the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners. 请愿人辩称,以内阁部长取代首席大法官的法律违反了《宪法》,损害了选举委员会的独立性。 The petitioners argue the law, which replaces the Chief Justice with a Cabinet Minister, violates the Constitution and undermines the independence of the Election Commission. 案件将于2025年1月由另一个法官审理。 The cases will be heard by another bench in January 2025.
