Question for lawyers

If the Election Commission lies in the Supreme Court, can the the CEC be punished or penalized?



Quick Summary
This discussion explores the serious question of whether the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) can be punished or penalised for providing false information to the Supreme Court. The consensus suggests that direct punishment for the CEC is unlikely. Instead, the Supreme Court may recommend actions against the officer to the central government, which would then follow due process based on the gravity of the officer's conduct.

Neither the CEC will be punished nor penalised for this act of lying before court, the supreme court will recommend actions against the officer to the central government to follow due process of law considering the seriousness of the attitudinal behavior of the offficer
