Indian Express: ECs wrote to Cabinet Secretary over IT oversight changeReportedChecked
Appointment as DEC reported in Aug 2024 (Indian Masterminds), at Additional Secretary rank with the post temporarily upgraded; the sources opened do not name the approving authority and the order was not found.
The source lists these without dates. They appear in the source's order.
Sandhu and Joshi jointly set aside Garg's order as made without reason or justification, directing that the previous work allocation continue until the Commission reached consensus. The note went to Garg and was copied to the CEC. The three Commissioners then met on 9 September, their first full meeting in four months.
Whether the CEC accepted the set-aside is not reported.
