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.
