A Judge of the Supreme Court or a High Court can be impeached on the grounds of violation of the Constitution, proved misbehavior, or incapacity.

Option 1 states that a judge can be impeached for violation of the Constitution. This means that if a judge acts in a way that directly contradicts or goes against the provisions and principles of the Constitution, they can be impeached.

Option 2 states that a judge can be impeached for proved misbehavior. This means that if a judge is found guilty of misconduct or unethical behavior, they can be impeached. The misconduct must be proven with sufficient evidence.

Option 3 states that a judge can be impeached for violation of the Constitution, proved misbehavior, and incapacity. This option includes all the grounds mentioned in the question, making it the correct answer.

Option 4 states that a judge can be impeached for proved misbehavior and incapacity. While this option includes two of the grounds mentioned in the question, it does not include violation of the Constitution. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3 (1, 2, and 3).
