STATE ELECTION COMMISSIONERS CAN NOT HOLD OFFICE IN THE GOVERNMENT AS PER DECISION OF THE HONOURABLE SUPREME COURT

The Supreme court of India has ordered that independent person should be appointed as the state election commissioners .The state governments are generally appointing Law Secretary as the State election commissioner however the Supreme court of India has pointed that being an important constitutional functionary the state election commissioner should be independent as he is to oversee the entire election process in the state qua panchayats and the municipalities. State election commissioners across the country can not hold the office in the government .On the other hand the government of India is reluctant to follow the directions of the honorable Supreme court of India .The Supreme court of India has also decided to fill the position of vacancies of the Tribunals and the other Commissions across the country however the government has yet taken no cognizance of the issued decision . In this behalf it is particularly mentioned here that it is in the interest of common man to furnish the vacant posts of the Tribunals and commissions as pendency is increasing day by day in the judiciary as well as in the other institutions working for the welfare of society and circle and if the government would not fill the position of said posts there is no logic to continue the Tribunals and commissions without the judges and the other officers working on the said position of the institutions
