His resignation will be a an important sign.

Suppose for the sake of my argument that this petition is successful and Ajit Paid has to resign, and the newly put in place chairman the removes net neutrality anyway.

It will then be obvious that there are powers in place that want net neutrality to fall even at the cost of having to replace the chairman.

Given that it's unlikely that net neutrality can be upheld in the current political climate, this would be a victory.

How would the "has to resign" part work? What binding power does this petition have once it reaches the required number of votes?

This isn't how things work. They appointed him precisely because he's a hack.
