The draft notice has been finalised and is likely to be submitted later this week, according to sources familiar with the development.

A senior parliamentarian from All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), who was involved in drafting the impeachment notice, described the exercise as a "100 per cent team effort".

"The drafting and planning have truly been a collective effort by all like-minded parties. The execution in both Houses will also be full teamwork," the TMC leader told PTI.

The leader also launched a sharp attack on the CEC, saying he had "totally degraded the great seat he occupies".
