What is the term of office of a judge of supreme court?
Answers
Answer:
The Constitution states that Justices "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour." This means that the Justices hold office as long as they choose and can only be removed from office by impeachment.
Answer:
A judge of the supreme court holds office until she or he attains the age of 65 years.
She or he may resign from office by sending a resignation to the President of India.
The judges of the supreme court can be removed from office on Grounds of misuse of office, proven misbehaviour or incapacity.
This process is called impeachment.
To do this, both houses of Parliament have to pass a resolution separately, containing the charges against the judge.
This must be voted upon and passed by a majority of the total membership of the house and by majority of not less than two thirds of the members present and voting.
