How does Article 121 impact the accountability and scrutiny of judges?
Article 121 of the Indian Constitution restricts discussion in Parliament with respect to the conduct of any Judge of the Supreme Court or of a High Court in the discharge of his duties except upon a motion for presenting an address to the President praying for the removal of the Judge. This means that there cannot be any public scrutiny or accountability of judges based on their decisions or actions while discharging their judicial duties, unless it involves a motion for removal. This effectively limits the ability of the legislature to hold judges accountable for their actions in court.
