Explanation using Example

Example 1:

During a parliamentary session, a Member of Parliament (MP) raises a question about a recent judgment delivered by a Supreme Court judge, suggesting that the judge may have been biased. Another MP immediately objects, citing Article 121 of the Constitution of India, which restricts any discussion on the conduct of a judge in the discharge of his duties. The Speaker of the House then rules that the discussion is out of order and cannot proceed unless a formal motion for the judge's removal is presented to the President.

Example 2:

An MP is concerned about the behavior of a High Court judge who has been accused of corruption. The MP wants to discuss this issue in Parliament. However, before doing so, the MP must follow the procedure outlined in Article 121. The MP, along with other members, drafts a motion for presenting an address to the President, praying for the removal of the judge. Only after this motion is formally presented can the Parliament discuss the conduct of the judge in question.
