Today (31st May): The Supreme Court vacation bench will hear a petition filed by the RJD candidate seeking re-polling at 45 booths in Bihar’s Munger LS Seat due to alleged rigging. The petitioner also seeks the removal of biased officials and a free and fair re-election. The petition highlights serious manipulation and the petitioner being manhandled.
On Monday (11th march): The Supreme Court set aside the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s decision supporting the elevated ratings in IAS officer Ashok Khemka’s Annual Confidential Report. The court emphasized that the evaluation of IAS officers should be left to the executive branch, citing its expertise and authority. This reinforces the principle of administrative oversight within the executive’s purview.
