Can Election Commission Decisions Be Challenged? Justice Lokur On Latest SIR Controversy

Can the Supreme Court question the Election Commission's decisions? And what happens if key decisions are taken without the participation of all Election Commissioners? On this episode of NDTV Profit's *Closing Argument*, Anusha Soni speaks with former Supreme Court judge Justice Madan B. Lokur about the Election Commission's decision-making process, judicial accountability and the need for institutional reforms. Justice Lokur discusses the controversy surrounding the Election Commission, stating that the Commission is a collective body and not a single individual. He argues that if decisions are taken without consulting the other Election Commissioners, they cannot be considered decisions of the full Commission. He also explains why the Supreme Court has the authority to examine decisions that are arbitrary or contrary to the Constitution or the law. The conversation also revisits the historic 2018 Supreme Court judges' press interaction, the Master of the Roster controversy, the allocation of politically sensitive cases and the lack of reforms within the judiciary. Can Election Commission decisions be challenged in court? Has the Supreme Court done enough to reform itself? And how can India's constitutional institutions strengthen transparency, accountability and public trust?
