Question

In which way dose under the election commission enjoy the same kind of independence as the judiciary

Answer 1

The Election Commission enjoys the same kind of independence that the judiciary enjoys. The Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is appointed by the President of India. But once appointed, he is not answerable to the President or the government. Even if the ruling party or the government does not like what the Commission does, it is virtually impossible for it to remove the CEC.

Answer 2

Answer:a. An EC is an autonomous body , independent of government control.

b. The President of India appoints the Chief Election Commission (CEC).After the appointment, the CEC is neither answerable to the government nor the President.

c.EC takes all decisions related to elections. It declares the election dates, prepare electoral rolls, declare results.

d.The EC has the power of punishing those candidates/parties who violate the Model Code of Conduct.

e. During elections, the EC sets guidelines for the government, so that government does not misuses its powers.

g.The government officials, who are on election duty, work under the EC and not the government.

In this way, election commission ensures equality in exercising one's franchise and also in contesting elections.

Hope this helps!
