Former Chief Justice of India Sanjeev Khanna has asked the parliamentary committee to review the bill to keep elections simultaneously that the constitutional validity of a proposal does not show that the returns are desirable or necessary. He made it clear that it does not mean that it is appropriate or necessary in terms of society or democracy. However, according to sources, Justice Khanna told the committee in his written vote that arguments on the Constitution Amendment Bill could be raised to weaken the country’s federal structure. Most experts who shared their opinion with the parliamentary committee led by the BJP -LP PP Chaudhary rejected the allegation that the proposals were unconstitutional, but they raised some problems with the current procedures of the bill. Justice Khanna, along with a few other former India chief judges, expresses their concerns about the border of the powers given to the Electoral Commission in the bill. He told Parliament’s committee that the proposed bill gives a ‘unlimited discretion’ to the Electoral Commission that no elections in the Government Meeting can be held at the Sabha election. The commission also gained the right to recommend the president in this regard.

Former CJI Khanna warned the Parliament’s Committee that if the Electoral Commission delay the election in a state, it could indirectly lead it as president’s rule. In other words, the central government can control the functions of the state government. He said that this situation could be under judicial point of view, as it could be regarded as a violation of the federal structure by the Constitution.
