The decision to revive the issue was based on the fact that the presiding officers of the two Houses Om Birla and CP Radhakrishnan gave reasoned orders on why the notices were being rejected. It is felt that the notices can be submitted again by rectifying the lacunae mentioned by the two Chairs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>It was said that one reason for the rejection was the absence of specific instances of misdemeanour.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Sources said talks are at an early stage and would take some time to mature. The bid to press against CEC Kumar appears an attempt to make a political statement in the wake of controversies surrounding the SIR in election-bound West Bengal, after similar rows erupted in other states. While there is consensus among opposition parties on the issue, Trinamool Congress has been its prime mover.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->&#8216;Zero Tolerance And Full Transparency&#8217;: CEC Gyanesh Kumar Says Tamil Nadu Polls A Matter Of Pride<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>While the earlier notice was submitted in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the opposition is still to decide if to follow the same pattern or to pick one House for the new petition.
