Such judges may be of _____?
A) Supreme Court
B) Any High Court
C) Only Supreme Court
D) Both Supreme Court and High court

Answer 1

Hint:The judiciary is that branch of the government that interprets the law, settles disputes and administers justice to all citizens. The judiciary is considered the watchdog of democracy, and also the guardian of the Constitution.

Complete answer:
This provision is enshrined in the Article 121 of the Indian Constitution. It restricts the discussion in Parliament with respect to the conduct of any judge of the Supreme court or High Court in discharge of his duties except for the motion for printing and address to the President requesting removal of a judge. Now let's see the options:

Supreme Court- It is the apex institution but as High Court judges too can deliver judgements this is incorrect.
Any High Court- High Court judge along with the Supreme Court judges can deliver judgements and this is also incorrect.
Only Supreme Court- As mentioned above , the Supreme Court alone would be the incorrect option.
Both Supreme Court and High court- High Court and Supreme Court judge's conduct under Article 121 of the Indian Constitution can't be discussed hence this is correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Note:This power is given to the judiciary for the independent functioning. It has separate provisions for removal of judges. This proves the judiciary to be a watchdog of the legislative and executive.
