Not yet, not now

How the Supreme Court has handled challenges to the Election Commission. The cases include the appointment law, still undecided after more than two years, and electoral bonds, decided after six.

Others argue that courts are poorly placed to run elections. The last case lists the times the Court did step in.

How to read this page

Each link carries a label. Delay is an adjournment, extension or case left pending. Relief refused is a request for a stay or interim order that the Court turned down. Ruling is a final decision. Court stepped in is an order that checked the Commission. Analysis is commentary on the Court's approach.

An allegation is not a finding. Read the original reports for the evidence and the replies.
