The judgment primarily focused on the *appointment process* of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners (ECs), ruling that they should be appointed by the President on the recommendation of a committee comprising the Prime Minister, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, and the Chief Justice of India. While the judgment aimed to provide the ECs with greater independence similar to the CEC and Supreme Court judges, it did *not* change the constitutional provision regarding the *grounds* for removal of Election Commissioners. According to Article 324(5), an Election Commissioner cannot be removed from office except on the recommendation of the Chief Election Commissioner. The grounds for removal of the CEC (and Supreme Court judges) are &#8220;proved misbehaviour or incapacity&#8221; through a parliamentary process, but this is not explicitly stated as the grounds for other ECs when recommended for removal by the CEC in the Constitution or the judgment.
