CJI Surya Kant Recuses, SC Shifts EC Appointment Act Challenge to Independent Bench
In a significant development, the Supreme Court on Friday decided that petitions challenging the appointment process of Election Commissioners under the 2023 law will be heard by a bench whose judges are not in line to become the Chief Justice of India (CJI). Chief Justice Surya Kant recused himself from the matter, citing potential conflict of interest.
The plea, filed by the Association for Democratic Reforms and others, argues that the new selection committee dominated by members of the executive undermines the independence of the Election Commission. It also challenges Section 7 of the Act as violative of Article 14 (right to equality).

J&K High Court upholds flood compensation for Srinagar family, dismisses insurer’s appeal over undisclosed exclusion clause in house damage claim
At the Srinagar wing of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court, a bench comprising Justice Sanjeev Kumar and Justice Sanjay Parihar on Thursday dismissed an appeal filed by National Insurance Company Limited. The insurer was seeking to overturn a compensation award granted to a family whose home was damaged during the devastating 2014 floods.
The case originates from a policy taken by late Shad Mohd Bashir, whose residential house at Sarai Payeen, Amira Kadal, Srinagar, had been insured since 2009. Though the policy was renewed annually, the company later claimed that it excluded flood and similar storm-related risks - referred to in technical jargon as “STFI” (Storm, Tempest, Flood, Inundation).
