The authority to decide the procedure for the impeachment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) lies with the Parliament of India. The process is outlined in Article 324 of the Constitution, which provides that the CEC can be removed from office in a manner and on grounds prescribed for the removal of a Supreme Court judge under Article 124. This involves a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament. The procedure includes a motion for impeachment being introduced, followed by a detailed investigation into the charges against the CEC, ensuring a fair and just process before removal can occur.
