Explanation

A Supreme Court judge can only be removed through impeachment under Article 124(4) and the Judges Inquiry Act. The process begins in either House, is investigated by a judicial committee, and requires a 2/3 majority present and voting plus absolute majority of total membership. The President then issues the removal order after this parliamentary process.
