Supreme Court Denies Stay on Law Excluding CJI from CEC, EC Panel.
Introduction to the New Law
- Replacing the 1991 Act
- The CEC and Other ECs (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act 2023 replaced the Election Commission (Conditions of Service of ECs and Transaction of Business) Act 1991.
- The 1991 Act governed the appointment, salary, and removal of the CEC and ECs.
- Appointment Process Under the New Law
- The President appoints the CEC and ECs based on the recommendation of a Selection Committee.
- The Selection Committee includes the Prime Minister, a Union Cabinet Minister, and the Leader of Opposition or the leader of the largest opposition party in the Lok Sabha.
- A Search Committee, headed by the Union Law Secretary, proposes a panel of names to the Selection Committee.
- Salary and Legal Authority
- The salary of the CEC and ECs is now equivalent to that of Judges of the Supreme Court.
- Orders passed by the CEC or ECs are not subject to challenge in any court of law.
Background Leading to the New Law
- Constitutional Provision and Previous Practice
- Article 324 of the Indian Constitution specifies that the appointment of CEC and ECs is subject to Parliamentary law.
- Parliament had not enacted a specific law until the introduction of the new law in 2023.
- Previously, appointments were made based on the Prime Minister’s recommendations.
- Supreme Court’s Intervention
- In the Anoop Baranwal v. Union of India case in 2023, a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court directed changes to ensure the independence of Election Commission appointments.
- A committee comprising the PM, Leader of the Opposition, and CJI was formed to advise the President until Parliament enacts a separate law.
Challenges to the New Law
- Violation of SC Ruling
- Petitioners argued that the new law contradicts the SC ruling in the Anoop Baranwal case, restricting government powers in CEC and EC appointments.
- Exclusion of the CJI from the selection panel lacks an “independent mechanism,” violating the principle of free and fair elections.
- Concerns about Fairness and Transparency
- Transparency in the appointment process is crucial for the functioning of the Election Commission, impacting governance and democracy.
- Allegations of the new law being against the concept of separation of powers, a constitutional basic structure upheld by the SC in the past.

Eucalyptus Snout Beetle
Tag: GS-3 Environment
In News:
Scientists have recently discovered a natural solution to safeguard eucalyptus forest plantations from the eucalyptus snout beetle.
About Eucalyptus Snout Beetle
- The Eucalyptus snout beetle (Gonipterus platensis) is a leaf-feeding beetle recognized as a significant defoliator of eucalypts, particularly damaging their growth and causing substantial losses globally.
- Indigenous to Australia, the beetle is found in many countries where eucalypts are cultivated, posing a threat due to its widespread distribution facilitated by the transport of forest products.
- The beetle’s feeding on eucalypt leaves, buds, and shoots leads to stunted growth, deflation, and considerable damage over extensive areas.
- Recent research has focused on utilizing fungi to control the Eucalyptus snout beetle, specifically collecting fungi from naturally infected beetles in eucalyptus forest plantations.
- The identified fungi, belonging to the genera Beauveria and Metarhizium, are known for their ability to infect and kill insects, with Beauveria pseudobassiana and Metarhizium brunneum proving to be the most virulent.
- Beauveria bassiana demonstrated high effectiveness, achieving a mortality rate of 100% through both contact and ingestion.
- These fungi hold the potential to develop a bio-pesticide for sustainable forestry practices, integrating pest management strategies.
- The fungi’s development involves assessing insecticidal activity, UV-B radiation tolerance, and other parameters to ensure suitability for bio-insecticide production, mass production, and commercialization.
| UPSC Previous Year Questions Prelims (2013) Q. Consider the following organisms: 1. Agaricus 2. Nostoc 3. Spirogyra Which of the above is/are used as biofertilizer/biofertilizers? (a) 1 and 2 (b) 2 only (c) 2 and 3 (d) 3 only Ans: (b) Biofertilizers are products containing carrier-based (solid or liquid) living microorganisms that are agriculturally useful in terms of nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, or nutrient mobilization to increase the productivity of soil or crop. Classification of biofertilizers based on microorganism: Bacterial Biofertilizers: Rhizobium, Azospirilium, Azotobacter, Phosphobacteria, Nostoc, etc. Hence, 2 is correct. Fungal Biofertilizers: MycorrhizaAlgal Biofertilizers: Blue Green Algae (BGA) and Azolla.Actinomycetes Biofertilizer: Frankia. Agaricus is an edible fungus and is commonly known as a mushroom. It is a saprophytic fungus found growing on soil humus, decaying litter on forest floors, in the fields, lawns, wood logs, and manure piles. Hence, 1 is not correct. Spirogyra is a large genus of freshwater green algae found in shallow ponds, ditches and amongst vegetation at the edges of large lakes, generally growing free-floating. It is valued for human consumption and is known as an important source of natural bio-active compounds for antibiotic, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic purposes. Hence, 3 is not correct. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer. Q. Lichens, which are capable of initiating ecological succession even on a bare rock, are a symbiotic association of (2014) (a) algae and bacteria (b) algae and fungi (c) bacteria and fungi (d) fungi and mosses Ans: (b) Lichen is not a single organism. Rather, it is a symbiosis between different organisms – a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium. Cyanobacteria are sometimes referred to as ‘blue-green algae’, though they are quite distinct from the algae. Lichens are amongst the first organisms to colonize the barren surfaces (e.g., road cuttings, rock outcrops and volcanic ash) and prepare these areas for later plants by trapping moisture and windblown organic debris and then contributing to the organic deposits when they die and decay. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer. |

BS-VI Norms
Tag: GS-3 Environment
In News:
The Supreme Court has issued a directive to the Union government, urging the formulation of a national policy aimed at gradually eliminating heavy-duty diesel vehicles
About BS-VI Norms
- Bharat Stage (BS) emission standards are government regulations controlling air pollutant emissions from internal combustion engines, covering motor vehicles and spark-ignition engine equipment.
- Adopted by India in 2000, these standards are modeled after European Union norms, with iterations like India 2000, BS2 (2005), BS3 (2010), and BS4 (2017), each imposing stricter emission standards.
- Regulating tailpipe emissions of pollutants such as particulate matter, SOx, NOx, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and methane, BS standards are set by the Central Pollution Control Board under the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change.
- In April 2020, India transitioned from BS-IV to BS-VI, mandating the manufacturing, selling, and registration of only BS-VI vehicles from April 1, 2020, encompassing cars, trucks, buses, three-wheelers, and two-wheelers.
- BS-VI norms, unlike BS-IV, do not cover off-highway equipment and vehicles like tractors and excavators.
- The key distinction between BS-IV and BS-VI lies in the stringency of emission standards, with BS-VI being more rigorous.
- The primary difference is the reduction in sulfur content in fuel, dropping from 50 ppm in BS-IV to 10 ppm in BS-VI for both gasoline and diesel, resulting in BS-VI engines emitting fewer harmful pollutants.
