Detailed explanation-1: -A judge of Supreme Court of India may be removed from office through a motion adopted by Parliament on grounds of ‘proven misbehaviour or incapacity’. However, the Constitution of India does not defines or provide any details of what constitutes ‘incapacity and proved misbehaviour’. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
