A delegation of former civil servants and social activists on Monday submitted a chargesheet and impeachment notice against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him of "proved misbehaviour" and seeking his removal under Article 324(5) of the Constitution. The group alleged he took decisions in the Election Commission's name without full consideration by the commission. Other charges include unauthorised changes to Form 6, misuse of ECINET, mass disenfranchisement through the Special Intensive Revision, partisan conduct and breach of statutory duty. Signatories include Najeeb Jung, G K Pillai and Yogendra Yadav. The allegations do not by themselves establish any wrongdoing by Kumar. (PC HT)
