The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Election Commission and the Centre seeking their responses within a week to a plea challenging the manner in which decisions were allegedly taken by the poll panel under Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar without the approval of the other two Election Commissioners, reported the PTI.

A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued the notice after hearing submissions by senior advocate Vikas Singh.
