In recent times, electoral disputes have increasingly found their way to the Supreme Court, a trend highlighted by Chief Justice of India, Justice Surya Kant. With assembly elections approaching in 2026, different states are seeing various electoral controversies rise to legal challenges in the apex court. This reflects concerns about politicization in the electoral process and the judiciary's involvement in political affairs.

One of the recent cases that garnered attention involved a controversial video released by the BJP in Assam targeting Muslims, which was perceived as a politically charged maneuver, stirring public outrage and leading the opposition to demand action from the Supreme Court. Following the video's online dissemination, the BJP removed it due to backlash, yet the issues it raised remained alive, indicating the complex interplay of politics and law as various political factions seek judicial intervention on matters they deem unjust or inappropriate during their campaigns.

As the political landscape evolves in states such as Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, the trend points to an increasing reliance on the judicial system to settle electoral disputes, suggesting that the court's involvement in politics might alter the dynamics of future elections. This situation raises essential questions about the integrity of the electoral process and the role of the judiciary in adjudicating political disputes, potentially influencing public trust in both political entities and the justice system.
