Speaker and RS Chairman refuse to admit notice to remove CEC

Replying to entry selection-law-removal-notice-march-2026

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan each refused to admit the notices under Section 3 of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968. The bulletins cited a 'careful and objective assessment' but, The Wire reported, gave no reasons; Indian Express later reported they had said the allegations lacked the proof needed for a prima facie case.

Parliamentary bulletins were not opened directly. TMC MPs Sagarika Ghose and Derek O'Brien criticised the absence of reasons.

CHARGE AND ANSWER

Charge: Opposition submits first-ever notices to remove a CEC in both Houses

Responses: No response on record.

The refusal to admit the notices is recorded, but it is a decision by the presiding officers, not an answer from the CEC.
