{'chief justice': [14, 1, 3, 5], 'supreme court': [12, 1, 4, 14], 'judges': [2, 0, 1, 2], 'high court': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'ministers': [2, 1, 2, 3], 'union council': [5, 0, 1, 1], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1: The President. The judges of the Supreme Court and High Court can be removed by the President. The President has the power to remove a judge on the grounds of proven misbehavior or incapacity.

Option 2, Parliament, is incorrect as the power to remove judges rests with the President, not Parliament.

Option 3, Union Council of Ministers, is also incorrect as the power to remove judges does not lie with the Council of Ministers.

Option 4, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, is incorrect as the Chief Justice does not have the authority to remove judges.

It is important to note that the process of removing a judge requires a series of steps including an inquiry and an impeachment motion in Parliament. The final decision rests with the President.
