The Supreme Court of India has scheduled a hearing on February 19 for pleas challenging the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners under the 2023 law. The court emphasized the potential consequences if any action is taken before the hearing.

The case highlights concerns about the independence of India's electoral process and the potential for political influence in the appointment of key election officials.
