UPSC 2007: Consider the following statements: 1. The mode of removal of a Judge of a High Court in India is the same as that of removal of a Judge of the Supreme Court. 2. After retirement from office, a permanent Judge of a High Court cannot plead or act in any court or before any authority in India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Both High Court and Supreme Court judges can be removed only by the President after an address by each House of Parliament supported by a special majority, so Statement 1 is correct. Article 220 permits a retired permanent High Court judge to practise in the Supreme Court or in other High Courts, so the blanket prohibition asserted in Statement 2 is wrong. Hence only Statement 1 is correct. ([examrobot.com](https://examrobot.com/content/consider-following-statements-1-mode-removal-judge-high-court-india-same-removal-judge))
