The mechanism is specific: if a PM, CM or minister is arrested for an offence carrying five-plus years' imprisonment and stays in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days, removal happens automatically on day 31 — the President or Governor can act on advice, but if they don't, it happens anyway. One detail that rarely makes the summary: anyone removed this way can be reappointed once released from custody, which somewhat undercuts the "destabilizing" argument critics have made. JPC sources say the committee will keep the clause intact when it meets July 17, but plans to add safeguards against it being used for "political vendetta or motivated prosecutions" — though nobody's specified yet what those safeguards actually look like.
