At this time, the most discussed Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is about Gyanesh Kumar. The special intensive revision campaign (SIR) of Voter List in Bihar and the allegations of ‘vote theft’ by the opposition have further heated the entire case. Opposition parties say that the role of the Election Commission does not look fair and that is why they are now preparing to take big steps. There are reports that the India alliance is considering bringing impeachment motion against Gyanesh Kumar in the Parliament.

Is it really easy to remove CEC?

Article 324 of the Constitution gives the status of an independent institution to the Election Commission. That is, the Election Commission separates from the government and works. This is the reason that removing the Chief Election Commissioner is not like removing a general officer. They can only be removed through impeachment. CEC is protected just like a Supreme Court judge. This means that they cannot withdraw from their posts until the impeachment motion is passed against them in both houses of Parliament.

Process of impeachment

To bring impeachment, the first Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha is proposed in any one House. If the two-thirds majority of the members present in the House vote in favor of this proposal, then it is considered to be passed. After this, the same proposal goes to another house and it is also necessary to pass with a two-thirds majority. After passing both houses, the President issues the order and only then the Chief Election Commissioner can be removed from his post.

How much salary and facilities do CEC get?

Now if we talk about the salary and facilities of Dnyanesh Kumar, then the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners get equal salary to the judges of the Supreme Court. According to reports, his monthly salary is around 3.5 lakh rupees.
