Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of above

Every Judge, permanent, additional or acting, may vacate his office earlier in any of the follow­ing ways; (i) by resignation in writing addressed to the President; (ii) by being appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court or being transferred to any other High Court, by the President; (iii) by removal by the President on an address of both Houses of Parliament (supported by the vote of 2/3 of the members present) on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity,. The mode of removal of a Judge of the High Court shall thus be the same as that of a judge of the Supreme Court.
