Answer

A Judge of the Supreme Court cannot be removed from office except by an order of the President on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity. This charge needs to be proved only by a joint address by both houses of Parliament and supported by a two-third majority of members present and voting. The word 'proved' is very important. It means that an allegation has been thoroughly examined by some impartial tribunal.
