SC to Examine Plea Against Lifetime Immunity for Poll Officers

The Supreme Court is looking at a big question: should the people who run elections in India, called Election Commissioners, be protected from being taken to court for their work, even after they retire?

A group called Lok Prahari thinks this is not fair because even the President of India doesn't get such protection.

They say this law might make elections less fair.

The court said they will think about it and asked the government and the Election Commission to explain their side.

They didn't stop the law from working right now.

The court also said that no court can take any action against these officers for anything they do while working, which the group says is too much power.
