Discussion
Assertion [A] : Art. 121 prohibits any 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.
Reason [R] : The objective of Art. 121 is to ensure the independence and dignity of the Judiciary.
Answer: B
Both statements are true and [R] explains [A]. Article 121 bars any discussion in Parliament of the conduct of a Supreme Court or High Court judge in the discharge of duties, except on a motion for removal, and the purpose is to protect the independence and dignity of the judiciary.
Because the objective given in [R] is the purpose of the bar in [A], option B is correct.
Article 124(4) provides the separate way to remove a judge by an address of Parliament, and Article 121 bars discussion of conduct except on such a motion.
