💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to respond to a PIL challenging the constitutionality of the process of appointing the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) solely by the executive and the Prime Minister. The petition argues that this process undermines the CAG's independence, violates Article 14, and is detrimental to good governance and democracy.
