SHORT ANSWER:
The Parliament plays a key role in the impeachment process of the President, while the Judicial Appointments Commission is involved in the appointment of judges, not their impeachment.
DETAILS:
- The impeachment of the President is initiated by either House of Parliament and requires a two-thirds majority in both Houses for removal.
- The Judicial Appointments Commission is responsible for recommending appointments and does not handle impeachment; judges can be impeached by Parliament under Article 124(4) of the Constitution.
PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable):
- If impeached, the President is removed from office; judges can be removed through a similar parliamentary process.
SOURCE:
- Constitution of India, Article 61 (President's impeachment) and Article 124 (Judges' impeachment).
