NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Wednesday agreed to examine a plea seeking recall of its recent split verdict on whether challenges to the 2023 law governing the appointment of the chief election commissioner and election commissioners should be referred to a larger Constitution bench.On Sept 23, a bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra Sharma gave split opinions on whether a batch of pleas challenging the validity of a 2023 law that excludes the CJI from the selection panel should go to a Constitution bench.Justice Datta declined the Centre's request for such a reference, while Justice Sharma favoured placing the matter before a larger bench.It had said due to a difference of opinion, the matter would be placed before CJI Surya Kant on the administrative side for the constitution of a bench of appropriate strength for an effective and authoritative adjudication.On Wednesday, a bench comprising the CJI and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana was told about the recall application by senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan. "We will examine and take a call," the CJI said.Sankaranarayanan told the bench that the recall application had earlier been mentioned before a bench headed by Justice Datta, but the matter had been released and he was asked to mention it before the CJI.
