For the first time in India, one of the Houses of Parliament passed a resolution for the removal of a judge. Who was the judge?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The Rajya Sabha adopted the removal motion against Justice Soumitra Sen in August 2011. The earlier motion against Justice V. Ramaswamy failed to obtain the required majority, while Justice Dinakaran resigned before his inquiry was completed. Sen also resigned before the Lok Sabha proceeded, so the question concerns adoption by one House rather than completed removal from office.
