Judge of the High Court can be removed from the office during his tenure by ___________________.

• A. the Governor, if the State passes resolution by 2/3rd majority
• B. the President, on the basis of resolution passed by the Parliament by 2/3rd majority
• C. the Chief Justice of Supreme Court on the recommendation of Parliament
• D. the Chief Justice of High Court on the recommendation of State Legislature

Answer 1

The correct option is B the President, on the basis of resolution passed by the Parliament by 2/3rd majority

A judge of the supreme court or High court is removed by the Process of impeachment. The President is authorised to remove the judge from his office only after an address by the Parliament has been presented to him in the same session for such removal. The address must be supported by a special majority of each house of the Parliament. (Majority of the total membership of that House and a majority of not less than two-thirds of the member of that House present and voting).
