Indian Polity

10 marks

“Judicial independence cannot become a shield against judicial accountability.” Examine this statement in light of the constitutional process for removing judges and the accountability concerns raised by a judge resigning during pending removal proceedings.

Tips for your answer

  • Highlight the central gap: removal may become impossible after resignation, but inquiry and legal accountability need not end.
  • Remember Articles 124(4), 217 and 218, the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, and the requirement of a special parliamentary majority.
  • Avoid arguing only for harsher punishment; balance accountability with judicial independence, procedural fairness and protection from political pressure.
