Supreme Court judge Justice K.M Joseph who is heading the constitution bench which is hearing petitions seeking independent mechanism to appoint election commissioners, expressed disagreement with the stand of election commission of India with article 326. The the right to vote is mere statutory right and not constitutional right.
Article 326 of the Constitution provides that the elections to the House of the People and to the Legislative Assembly of every State shall be on the basis of adult suffrage, that is to say, a person should not be less than 35 years of age.
Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is known as the father of the Indian Constitution.
