✅ Pratap Bhanu Mehta's arguments about why the judiciary might not be the best selector of election commissioners include:

1. Conflict of Interest: Judges already have a role in interpreting laws and ensuring their implementation. If they were to also choose election commissioners, it could create a conflict of interest, potentially impacting the impartiality and credibility of both roles.

2. Accountability: Election commissioners need to be accountable to the public and political parties. If the judiciary were responsible for their appointment, it might reduce the level of accountability as they would not be directly answerable to the electorate.

3. Separation of Powers: A fundamental tenet of democracy is the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Allowing the judiciary to select election commissioners could blur these lines, compromising the checks and balances that are crucial for the functioning of a democratic system.

4. Lack of Expertise: The selection of election commissioners requires a deep understanding of electoral processes, administration, and political dynamics. Judges may not necessarily possess this specialized knowledge compared to other bodies or individuals.

5. Potential for Judicial Overreach: Empowering the judiciary to choose election commissioners could open the door to potential overreach, where the judiciary becomes too influential in shaping electoral matters, possibly leading to erosion of political and democratic norms.

6. Public Perception: The perception of impartiality is important in the functioning of both the judiciary and the election commission. Allowing the judiciary to select election commissioners could lead to suspicions of bias or favoritism.

It's important to consider a balanced approach that ensures the independence, expertise, and accountability of election commissioners while upholding the principles of democracy and the separation of powers.
