Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is option C (statements 3 and 4 only).

**Statement 1 is incorrect:** The Speaker/Chairman may admit the motion or refuse to admit it.[2] This clearly shows that the Speaker has the discretionary power to reject a removal motion under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968.

**Statement 2 is incorrect:** The only grounds upon which such removal may take place are: (1) "proved misbehaviour" and (2) "incapacity". In Article 124(4) of the Constitution, "misbehaviour" means wrong conduct or improper conduct.[3] While the Constitution mentions these grounds, it does not provide detailed definitions of what constitutes incapacity and proved misbehaviour.

**Statement 3 is correct:** The Judges Enquiry Act (1968) regulates the procedure relating to the removal of a judge of the Supreme Court by the process of impeachment.[1] The Act provides the detailed procedural framework for the impeachment process.

**Statement 4 is correct:** The address must be supported by a special majority of each House of Parliament (ie, a majority of the total membership of that House and a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of that House present and voting)[1], which accurately describes the voting requirement for removal.

Statement 2
Does the Constitution of India itself define or give detailed definitions of "incapacity" and "proved misbehaviour" for removal of Judges of the Supreme Court of India?

“Independence of The independence of the Judges of the Supreme Court is Supreme Court sought to he secured by the Constitution in a number of ways: (a) Though the appointing authority is the President, acting with the advice of his Council of Ministers, the appointment of the Supreme Court Judge has been lifted from the realm of pure politics by requiring the President to,consult the Chief Justice oflndia in the matter. 4 . (b) By laying down that a Judge of the Supreme Court shall not be removed by the President, except on a joint address by both Houses of Parliament (supported by a majority of the total membership and a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting, in each House), on ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity of the Judge in question [Article 124(4)].”
Why this source?
  • Quotes Article 124(4) as prescribing 'proved misbehaviour' and 'incapacity' as the grounds for removal.
  • The excerpt lists the grounds but does not supply any definitional text for those terms within the quoted Article.

“The only grounds upon which such removal may take place are: (I) "proved misbehaviour" and (2) "incapacity". In Article 124(4) of the Constitution, "misbehaviour" means wrong conduct or improper conduct. Every act or conduct or error of judgment or negligence by a Constitutional authority per se does not amount to misbehaviour. Misconduct implies a creation of some degree of mens rea by the d'Jer Impeachment of a Judge. The combined effect of Article 124(4) and the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968 is that the following procedure is to be observed for removal of a Judge.”
Why this source?
  • Legal commentator provides an interpretation of 'misbehaviour' as 'wrong or improper conduct', indicating the meaning is supplied by commentary.
  • By offering an explanatory gloss, the author implies the constitutional text itself does not contain a detailed statutory definition in the excerpt.
Indian Polity, M. Laxmikanth(7th ed.) > Chapter 44: Union Public Service Commission > REMOVAL > p. 424
Presence: 4/5
“Defining the term 'misbehaviour' in this context, the Constitution states that the chairman or any other member of the UPSC is deemed to be guilty of misbehaviour if she (a) is concerned or interested in any contract or agreement made by the Government of India or the government of a state, or (b) participates in any way in the profit of such contract or agreement or in any benefit therefrom otherwise than as a member and in common with other members of an incorporated company.”
Why this source?
  • Shows that the Constitution does give a concrete definition of 'misbehaviour' in another context (UPSC members).
  • The contrast implies that where the Constitution intends detail it provides it—supporting the conclusion that for judges the detailed definitional text is not present in the cited Article.
Statement 3
Does the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968 set out the detailed procedure for inquiry and impeachment/removal of Judges of the Supreme Court of India?

Why this source?
  • Directly links Article 124(4) with the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968 and says the combined effect prescribes the procedure for removal.
  • Explicitly frames that the procedure to be observed for removal of a judge follows from this Act.

  • Enumerates procedural steps (motion signed by members, Speaker/Chairman admission, constitution of a three-member committee).

  • Provides concrete steps that form the detailed removal process beyond the inquiry stage.
Statement 4
For removal of a Supreme Court Judge in India, does the Constitution require each House of Parliament to pass the motion by a majority of the total membership of that House and by not less than two-thirds of the members of that House present and voting?

Why this source?
  • Explicitly defines the required 'special majority' as a majority of the total membership and not less than two-thirds of members present and voting.
  • Links that defined special majority to the address for removal of a judge (procedure for removal).
Indian Polity, M. Laxmikanth(7th ed.) > Chapter 23: Parliament > D I Special Majority > p. 240

“The various cases of requirement of special majority can be further classified in the following way: Special Majority-I A majority of the total membership of each House and a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting is required in the following cases: • (a) Amendment of the Constitution (Article 368) • (b) Removal of the Judges of the Supreme Court (Article 124) • (c) Removal of the Judges of the High Courts (Article 217) • (d) Removal of the Controller and Auditor General of India (Article 148) • (e) Removal of the Chief Election Commissioner (Article 324) • (f) Removal of the State Election Commissioner (Article 243K) • (g) Parliamentary approval of proclamation of national emergency (Article 352) Special Majority-II A two-thirds majority of the total membership of each House is required for the impeachment of the President (Article 61).”
Why this source?
  • Lists removal of Supreme Court judges under 'Special Majority-I', which is defined as majority of total membership plus two-thirds of members present and voting.
  • Places removal of judges alongside other constitutional actions requiring the same special majority, confirming its constitutional character.

Ramaswami of the Supreme Court (1991-1993). Though the enquiry committee found him/her guilty of misbehaviour, he/she could not be removed as the impeachment motion was defeated in the Lok Sabha.”
Why this source?
  • Describes that the motion must be passed by each House 'by special majority' before presentation to the President for removal.
  • Provides procedural context linking the special-majority requirement to actual impeachment attempts.
Pattern takeaway: The 'Constitution Defines' Trap is a recurring pattern. The Constitution rarely defines abstract terms like 'Misbehaviour', 'Untouchability', 'Minority', or 'Martial Law'. Whenever a statement claims the Constitution provides a detailed definition, treat it with extreme suspicion.
How you should have studied
  1. [THE VERDICT]: Absolute Sitter. Direct lift from Laxmikanth Chapter 26 (Supreme Court) or D.D. Basu. If you missed this, your static polity revision is flawed.
  2. [THE CONCEPTUAL TRIGGER]: Removal of Constitutional Authorities. Specifically, the procedural nuances that differentiate the removal of a Judge from the impeachment of the President.
  3. [THE HORIZONTAL EXPANSION]: Memorize the 3-member Inquiry Committee composition (CJI/SC Judge + HC Chief Justice + Distinguished Jurist). Note the signatory requirement: 100 members (Lok Sabha) or 50 members (Rajya Sabha). Recall the only case: Justice V. Ramaswami (1991-93) where the motion fell in LS.
  4. [THE STRATEGIC METACOGNITION]: Do not just read 'Impeachment'. Break it into a flowchart: Initiation (Signatures) → Admission (Speaker's Discretion) → Investigation (Committee) → Voting (Special Majority). The examiner creates questions by swapping authorities at these specific nodes.

🌑 The Hidden Trap

The Constitution DOES define 'misbehaviour' for UPSC Members (Article 317) but NOT for Supreme Court Judges. A future question will likely swap these: 'The Constitution defines misbehaviour for Judges but not for UPSC members.'

⚡ Elimination Cheat Code

Apply the 'Presiding Officer's Authority' heuristic: In Indian Parliamentary procedure, the Speaker/Chairman almost always has the power to accept or reject motions to prevent frivolous disruptions. Statement 1 claims the Speaker 'cannot reject'—this strips the Chair of inherent power, which is logically inconsistent with parliamentary functioning.

🔗 Mains Connection

Links to GS-2 (Judicial Accountability vs. Independence). This rigid removal process is often cited in the NJAC/MoP debates as a reason why judicial accountability is difficult to enforce, leading to the 'Uncle Judges' syndrome arguments.
