Question:

Describe the impeachment procedure of a Supreme Court Judge.

Author: Lady Bird



Answer:

The President first issues an order against the judge on grounds of proven misbehaviour or incapacity. Then, the two Houses of Parliament pass this order by support of majority of the total membership of each House and at least two-thirds majority of the members present and voting. If such an order is passed, the judge will be impeached. The conduct of the judges of High Court and Supreme Court cannot be discussed in the Parliament. So, the President must issue an order to proceed with impeachment.
