Sir, I beg to move the following amendment;
“That for clause 18 of Chapter IV, the following be substituted:
‘18. Supreme Court.—There shall be a Supreme Court with the constitution, powers and jurisdiction recommended by the ad hoc Committee on the Union Judiciary, subject to the following modifications and conditions:
(1) (a) A judge of the Supreme Court shall be appointed by the President after consulting the Chief Justice and such other judges of the Supreme Court as also such Judges of the High Courts as may be necessary for the purpose.
(b) For the second sentence of paragraph 15 of the Committee’s report the following shall be substituted:
“Their salary may be provided for by statute.”
(c) Provision for the removal of Judges of the Supreme Court be made on the following lines:
“A judge of the Supreme Court of India shall not be removed from his office except by the President on an address from both the Houses of Parliament of the Union in the same session for such removal on the ground of proved misbehaviour, or incapacity. Further provision may be made by Federal law for the procedure to be adopted in this behalf.” ’ ”
