Anoop Baranwal v. Union of India (2023): We decode the Supreme Court's landmark ruling that directed the inclusion of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) in the selection committee to ensure the ECI's independence.

The 2023 Act: A detailed analysis of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023. We discuss how this new Act replaces the CJI with a Union Cabinet Minister in the selection panel, effectively giving the Executive more control.
