CEC can be removed only like a Supreme Court judge, ECI tells top court
The Election Commission of India (ECI) told the Supreme Court that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) can only be removed like a Supreme Court judge, citing the 2023 Act. The CEC, Kumar, and other commissioners argue that any attempt to restrain the CEC’s functioning contradicts the Act, noting that Form 6 was not amended. West Bengal CEO’s officers filed appeals against inclusions.
