In 2021, the Supreme Court of India delivered a judgment in the case of "Gajendra Singh Shekhawat vs. Union of India and Others" regarding the appointment of Election Commissioners. The case challenged the appointment of Election Commissioners on the grounds that the process was not transparent and did not ensure the independence of the Election Commission.
The Supreme Court ruled that the appointment of Election Commissioners must be made through a transparent process and that the principles of institutional integrity and independence must be safeguarded. The court also directed the government to frame rules to ensure transparency in the appointment process and to establish a permanent selection committee to recommend suitable candidates for the post of Election Commissioner.
This judgment reaffirms the importance of transparency and independence in the functioning of the Election Commission, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the integrity of elections in India
