The Supreme Court on Thursday said the theory that the courts cannot or do not make laws is a myth which has been exploded a long while ago. A five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice KM Joseph said so as it ruled that the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners will be done on the recommendation of a committee, comprising the Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and the CJI, to maintain the purity of election.
