What is the legal system to remove the deputy speaker?

Regarding the dismissal of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Article 91, Clause 6 (c) of the Constitution states, "If the resolution that he has not behaved in accordance with his office is passed by a two-thirds majority of the total number of members of the House of Representatives." After obtaining the support of one-fourth of the members, the notification to submit the resolution according to Article 91, Clause 6 (c) of the Constitution shall be given to the Secretary General or in his absence, the Secretary. "The date and time of the meeting will be set for discussion within seven days from the date of registration of such a proposal," states the regulation. After the proposal is presented, the person presiding over the meeting will determine the time period for the discussion and after that time period, the speaker or deputy speaker who is accused of not behaving in accordance with the position will give a statement regarding the justification of the accusation against him. If not returned, the proposal will be presented for decision. In whose favor the vote with the signatures of two-thirds of the members will be rejected, if two-thirds of the votes are reached, the office will be dismissed.

The ruling party had prepared to propose on Tuesday itself. But if it was registered on Tuesday, the proposal should have been discussed and decided within 10 August. The ruling parties backed away from filing the resolution on Tuesday as they were criticized for not even giving the Deputy Speaker a chance to give a clean statement. Deputy Speaker Rana is currently on a US visit. His secretariat has informed that he is scheduled to return only on August 13.
