Former chief justices of India, D Y Chandrachud and J S Khehar, on Friday flagged certain provisions of the constitutional amendment bill for simultaneous elections, including powers it vest with the Election Commission, but rejected the suggestion that the idea falls foul of the Constitution, sources said.

Summarising the views expressed by the two jurists, a source said both of them suggested that the ONOE Bill has certain grey areas that should be addressed by the committee and made some suggestions as well.
