The Supreme Court on Thursday again heard the process of appointment of Election Commissioners.  The government handed over the file to the Constitution Bench on the process of appointment of Arun Goyal as Election Commissioner.  The government said copies of the original appointment file have been given to the five judges.
 During the hearing, the bench raised questions on the manner of appointment.  Justice Ajay Rastogi questioned the file moving forward at such a fast pace and making the appointment.  He asked how the investigation was conducted within 24 hours.
 Justice Rastogi said the post became vacant on May 15.  Can you tell us why the government rushed to appoint on this?  Same day clearance, same day notification, same day acceptance.  The file didn't even circulate for 24 hours.  It has traveled at the speed of light.  The Attorney General said he would answer everything, but the court should give him a chance to speak.

Justice Rastogi said that sometimes it is possible to move fast but the question is why the appointment was made so hastily when the matter was pending since it was vacant from May 15.  "You can justify having the panel but in terms of the note from the Minister of Law and Justice we want to know the basis for this selection," he told the AG.  He said it was not adverse.  We want to know if the system is maintained and the process is working fine, the database is in the public domain and anyone can see it?
