Who can take action against a judge
Now you must be thinking that judges sentence everyone, then who can take action against the judge. According to the information, earlier it was quite a complicated matter to complain against a judge. But according to media reports, now as per the notification of the Supreme Court, there is a separate law (Judges Inquiry Act, 1968) for removing a judge, the action of which is very complicated and time consuming.
But now action against any judge is possible. According to the Supreme Court, if your complaint has substance, the Chief Justice will get it investigated. If evidence is found, the case will be investigated by an investigation committee of three judges. If a judge is found guilty, the Chief Justice can punish him by removing him from judicial work, asking him to resign from the post, asking him to take voluntary retirement and even informing the PM to seek an explanation. In some cases, the CJI and the Supreme Court of the country can take suo motu cognizance and take action.
