{'chief election commissioner': [5, 0, 3, 2], 'chief justice': [14, 1, 3, 5], 'judge': [6, 1, 14, 17], 'supreme court': [12, 1, 4, 14], 'attorney': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'comptroller': [13, 1, 5, 18]}

The correct answer is option 1: A Judge of the Supreme Court.

In India, the Chief Election Commissioner is an important position responsible for overseeing the conduct of elections. The Constitution of India provides safeguards to ensure the independence of the Chief Election Commissioner. One of these safeguards is that the Chief Election Commissioner can only be removed from office in the same manner and on the same grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court.

This means that the removal process for the Chief Election Commissioner will follow the same procedures and requirements as the removal of a Supreme Court Judge. It ensures that the Chief Election Commissioner is protected from arbitrary removal or political interference and can perform their duties with impartiality and independence.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the constitutional provisions regarding the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner.
