How can a judge of the Supreme Court be removed from his office?

Solution

A judge of the Supreme Court may be removed from his office before the expiry of his term by the President on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity. The President shall make such order for removing a judge only after an address to each House of Parliament supported by a majority of the total membership of that House and not less than two-third majority of the members present and voting, has been presented to the President. The address for the removal of a judge shall be passed by each House separately in the same session of Parliament.
