Explanation:

A judge of the Supreme Court can be removed from his Office by an order of the president. The President can issue the removal order only after an address by Parliament has beenpresented to him in the same session for such removal. The address must be supported by a special majority of each House of Parliament (i.e a majorityof the total membership of that House and a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members
of that House present and voting).

The grounds of removal are two—proved misbehaviour or incapacity.

The Judges Enquiry Act (1968) regulates the procedure relating to the removal of a judge of the Supreme Court by the process of impeachment.
