What are the procedures to be adopted for removal of sitting judge of Supreme Court / high Court?

ü  The Constitution seeks to ensure the independence of Supreme Court Judges in various ways.

ü  A judge of the Supreme Court cannot be removed from office except by an order of the president passed after an address in each House of Parliament supported by a majority of the total membership of that House and by a majority of not less than two-thirds of members present and voting,

ü  and presented to the president in the same Session for such removal on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity.

ü  A person who has been a Judge of the Supreme Court is debarred from practising in any court of law or before any other authority in India.
