SIR and the dissent debate: A Constitutional process, not an institutional breakdown
New Delhi, Sep 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Election Commission of India (ECI) has rejected the suggestion that differences among its three members amount to an institutional "rupture", saying internal objections and written notes are an established part of the functioning of a multi-member constitutional body and do not, by themselves, establish illegality or dysfunction. The response followed The Indian Express report of September 23 that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised 14 formal objections over 10 months on decisions of the Commission, including issues linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
