'EC Is Not Above The Constitution' Says Former SC Judge Justice Madan Lokur On Form 6 Row

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Madan Lokur weighed in on the controversy surrounding the Election Commission's alterations to Form 6 and the scrutiny from the apex court. Speaking on the legal limits of regulatory authority, Justice Lokur stated, "Form 6 is a statutory form, right? And it can't be changed on the whims and fancies of somebody." He asserted that the Election Commission cannot bypass statutory procedures or rely arbitrarily on residual powers without following due process and securing mandated parliamentary and government approvals. Justice Lokur also addressed the wrongful exclusion of citizens from voter rolls, arguing that the judiciary must examine the matter thoroughly. Emphasizing institutional accountability, he maintained that the Election Commission is an independent constitutional body that remains fully answerable to the law and the Supreme Court. #SupremeCourt #ElectionCommission #Form6 #itwebvideos #MadanLokur #GyaneshKumar #Elections #VoterList #Judiciary #Democracy #ECI #ConstitutionOfIndia #LegalNews #ElectoralRolls #IndiaNews #IndiaToday Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
