General knowledge
In India, the President can be removed by impeachment for violation of the Constitution (Article 61); the resolution must be passed by a two-thirds majority of the total membership of each House; no President of India has ever been impeached.
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: भारत में राष्ट्रपति को संविधान के उल्लंघन के लिए महाभियोग द्वारा हटाया जा सकता है (अनुच्छेद 61); प्रस्ताव हर सदन की कुल सदस्यता के दो-तिहाई बहुमत से पारित होना चाहिए; भारत के किसी राष्ट्रपति पर कभी महाभियोग नहीं चला।
Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts are removed by a similar process, though the word used is removal.
सर्वोच्च और उच्च न्यायालयों के न्यायाधीशों को समान प्रक्रिया से हटाया जाता है, हालाँकि शब्द removal है।
