With an Indian Express report detailing how two Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had objected 14 times in 10 months to decisions taken by the ECI - some of which they said were taken without their knowledge - the actions of the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar have come under scrutiny with nationwide protests demanding his resignation intensifying last week.

The Supreme Court, on Monday (October 5, 2026), said that the changes to Form 6 were not made by the court, and issued notice to the ECI and the Centre seeking responses in a week on a plea challenging the manner in which the poll panel led by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar took decisions allegedly without the approval of two Election Commissioners.
