What's behind this
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Centre and the Election Commission of India in response to a petition that challenges the constitutional validity of Section 16 of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023.

Both the Centre and the ECI have been asked to file their replies.
