A judge of the Supreme Court can be removed only on the grounds of proven misbehaviour or incapacity.

Otherwise, a judge of the Supreme Court cannot be removed from office. The practice of law in any court or before any other body in India is prohibited for anyone who has served as a judge of the Supreme Court.
