Cabinet Secretariat declines to act on complaints by 2 Election Commissioners against senior EC officer: RTI
AI summaryThe Cabinet Secretariat declined to act on separate complaints by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi against Senior Deputy Election Commissioner Maneesh Garg, citing that the communications were sent in their individual capacities rather than as an official commission directive. The Election Commissioners alleged that Garg issued work-allocation orders without consulting the commission, violating the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023. The Secretariat acknowledged receipt of the letters but decided against further action to avoid interfering with the functioning of the constitutional body.
