As per Article 124(4) of the Constitution: “A Judge of the Supreme Court shall not be removed from his office except by an order of the President, passed after an address by each House of Parliament, supported by a majority of the total membership of that House and by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting, has been presented to the President in the same session for such removal on the grounds of proved misbehavior or incapacity.”Section 3 of the Judges Inquiry Act, 1968, states: “If notice is given of a motion for presenting an address to the President praying for the removal of a Judge, then the Speaker (Lok Sabha) or the Chairman (Rajya Sabha), after consulting such persons as they deem fit and considering any available materials, may either admit or refuse to admit the motion.”Article 124(5) allows Parliament to regulate the procedure for presenting an address and for investigating and proving the misbehavior or incapacity of a Judge under clause (4).At an event organised by the VHP’s legal cell at the Allahabad High Court on Sunday, Justice Yadav made controversial remarks, stating: “You can’t disrespect a woman who has been recognised as a goddess in our Shastras and Vedas. You can’t claim the right to have four wives, perform halala, or practice triple talaq. You say, we have the right to say ‘triple talaq’, and not give maintenance to women.”
