Question 35

2nd February 2024, the ANI reported:
Centre notifies appointment of Chief Justices of seven different High Courts.

Can the Centre remove the judges? Give a reason for your answer.

Answer

No, the Centre cannot remove High Court judges. They can be removed only by the President through impeachment on grounds of proved misbehaviour or incapacity, with a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament. This ensures judicial independence.
