Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Judges of the Supreme Court or High Courts can be removed by the President on proven misbehavior or incapacity, via a parliamentary process (Articles 124(4), 217). The Judges (Inquiry) Act outlines an intricate motion requiring special majorities in both Houses. Impeachment is rare: only a few attempts have ever been made. Critics argue the procedure is too cumbersome, possibly shielding misconduct. Others say it upholds judicial independence by preventing frivolous attacks. Alternate proposals involve independent commissions for judicial accountability. Understanding this reflects the tension between safeguarding judicial independence and ensuring accountability within India’s apex courts.
