[The Indian Express @IndianExpress]

A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court on Wednesday referred petitions challenging the 2023 law on the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and other Election Commissioners (ECs) — which excludes the Chief Justice of India (CJI) from the process — to the CJI to consider forming a Constitution Bench (which has a minimum of five judges).

தேர்தல் ஆணையர்கள் மீது சட்ட நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க முடியாது!

தேர்தல் ஆணையர்களுக்கு தனி immunity - சட்ட பாதுகாப்பு வழங்கும் பிரிவு 2023 ஆம் ஆண்டு தேர்தல் ஆணையர்கள் நியமன சட்டத்தில் சேர்க்கப்பட்டது.

அதில் உள்ள 16வது அந்த விலக்கை அளித்துள்ளது.

அந்த பிரிவு இதுதான்:

தலைமைத் தேர்தல் ஆணையராகவோ அல்லது தேர்தல் ஆணையராகவோ பதவியில் இருப்பவர் அல்லது இருந்தவர் ஒருவர், தனது அலுவல்ரீதியான கடமை அல்லது பணியைச் செய்யும்போது அல்லது செய்ய முற்படும்போது செய்த செயல், நிகழ்வு அல்லது பேசிய வார்த்தை தொடர்பாக, அவருக்கு எதிராக எந்தவொரு நீதிமன்றமும் உரிமையியல் அல்லது குற்றவியல் நடவடிக்கைகளை மேற்கொள்ளவோ ​​அல்லது தொடரவோ கூடாது.

The Opposition has targeted the Election Commission of India and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar after an Indian Express report found that two of the three Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, had complained about being kept in the dark over steps involving the addition of new voters and deletion of names.

#ExpressInvestigation | SIR, which began in Bihar in June 2025, an otherwise routine clean-up of the rolls, has struck more than 13 crore names off the draft voter rolls in 30 States and Union Territories. This has put the Election Commission at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.

An investigation by The Indian Express reveals that questions were raised on these very issues within the three-member Election Commission itself, time and again through much of this same period. By two of the three Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, no less.

The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.

The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.

HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.

Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

ISRO employees request official clarification on government policy regarding privatisation/transfer of ISRO manufacturing and operational functions, the future role of ISRO, and the impact on serving employees and future generations.

[ISRO @isro]

The Next Frontier: Space Station, Moon and Planetary Exploration
This transition is particularly important in the context of Space Vision 2047. India’s ambitions include establishing the Bharatiya Antariksh Station by 2035, undertaking an Indian crewed mission to the Moon by 2040, developing next-generation and reusable launch systems, pursuing sustained lunar and planetary exploration, and establishing India as a major global space power.
These are technologically demanding missions that require ISRO to remain focused on advanced research and capabilities that cannot simply be substituted by commercial activity.
The objective is therefore to enable industry to scale mature capabilities while ISRO pushes India towards the next technological frontier. The new institutional architecture gives each part of the space ecosystem a distinct role.
The Department of Space provides overall policy direction. ISRO remains the core organisation for advanced R&D, technology development and national missions. IN-SPACe facilitates and authorises the participation of non-government entities, while NSIL undertakes commercialisation and industry-led utilisation of mature capabilities.
Industry and start-ups contribute investment, innovation, manufacturing capacity and market access.
At the same time, ownership and control of critical national space infrastructure and strategic capabilities will continue to remain with the Government. Private participation in operations and services will be enabled where appropriate and will remain subject to national-security, safety and other regulatory requirements. Strategic and nationally critical capabilities will continue to be governed by security, safety, quality and national-interest considerations.

Building India’s Overall Space Capability
The emergence of a vibrant private space ecosystem is already one of the major outcomes of 2020 space reforms.
From only a handful of Indian space start-ups in 2020, India today has more than 450, working across launch vehicles, satellites, propulsion, ground systems, Earth observation, communications and space applications. This has brought additional investment, entrepreneurial talent and technological innovation while creating opportunities for highly skilled professionals and strengthening India’s overall space capability.
India’s space economy is presently estimated at around $8.4 billion, still a relatively small share of the rapidly expanding global space economy. India aims to increase its share of the global space market to $44 billion by 2033.
That scale cannot be achieved through government resources and ISRO’s manpower alone. It requires private capital, industrial capacity, entrepreneurship and global market access.
A stronger Indian space industry can augment ISRO’s capabilities, strengthen domestic supply chains, attract talent and investment, increase production and competitiveness, and enable India to capture a larger share of the global space economy.

A Stronger ISRO at the Centre
The success of the reforms should ultimately be measured by the growth of India’s aggregate space capability.
ISRO remains at the centre of India’s space programme, leading national efforts in advanced research, strategic capabilities, human space-flight, next-generation launch technologies, the Bharatiya Antariksh Station and lunar and planetary exploration, while a wider Indian ecosystem provides the scale needed to realise India’s Space Vision 2047.
