Why Parliament rejected impeachment notice to remove CEC Gyanesh Kumar?

Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla rejected the Opposition's notice seeking the removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, citing lack of proof of misbehaviour. "While these allegations are relevant for political debate, they don't prima facie meet the high constitutional bar for removal proceedings," the order said. EC's decisions often have political consequences, it added.
