This is just to clarify that your proposals to ECI are NOT official IAC initiatives but your individual / your NGO's efforts..
It seems that these proposals of yours are taken from a set of BJP proposals to Dr. Manmohan Singh submitted by Mr.T.S Krishnamurthy CEC on 5.July.2004 shortly after UPA-I Govt was installed. It also seems the reason this was done in 2004 was to make out a case that "honest" NDA lost because of criminalisation of UPA camp.
Hence we should avoid getting entangled into political proposals until all the implications are factored in by persons like Mr. S D Sharma and Ors who post to this list

Dear Mr Venkatraman
The ECI is a creature of the Constitution and restricted to acting within the 4 corners of the law (RP Act).
Can you show the CEC any provision of law which specifically allows him to ban charge-sheeted candidates ?
What does "ensuring free and fair elections" have to do with banning "corrupt" (as per you) candidates merely because they are charge-sheeted ?
A charge sheet is merely a list of charges with facts after the police investigation is completed.which is submitted to the court u/s 173 CrPC, and for the accused to defend himself against thereafter
A charge sheet can in no way be presumed to be a confirmation of guilt. It is the first step in the prosecution process and without the accused being given a chance to present his defence.
From now on whatever is done by IAC has to be scrupulously perfect. We must strive for perfection and high standards in everything we do.
We must also avoid getting into the trap of wishful thinking. As the saying goes, "If wishes were horses beggars would ride".
With best wishes
