Overview
- Notices lodged on March 13 seek the Chief Election Commissioner's removal and carry 193 Opposition signatures, including 130 in the Lok Sabha and 63 in the Rajya Sabha.
- The notices outline seven charges, including partisan and discriminatory conduct, obstruction of inquiries into electoral fraud, and mass disenfranchisement.
- Opposition parties link the charges to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and cite alleged voter‑list deletions in Karnataka’s Aland and Mahadevapura.
- The filing references Rahul Gandhi’s February 2025 dissent over the appointment process and cites Gyanesh Kumar’s August 2025 public ultimatum to Gandhi as evidence of bias.
- Removal follows the exacting procedure used for judges, and if the motion is admitted, the Speaker and the Rajya Sabha Chair will constitute a three‑member panel of senior judicial figures and a distinguished jurist.
