Lawyers’ group seek fresh hearing in CEC law challenge, Noida DM case

A group of advocates issued a public statement on Friday (September 25, 2026) seeking the recall of a recent Supreme Court order involving Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam and requesting that petitions challenging the Chief Election Commissioner’s appointment law be heard afresh.

The statement, issued by the Lawyers Association for Constitution and circulated online by Supreme Court advocate Subhash Chandran K.R., urges that both matters be heard by a top court Bench that does not include Justice Satish Chandra Sharma.

Justice Sharma had led the Division Bench that passed an interim order on September 23 in the appeal filed by Ms. Roopam, the daughter of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.
