Key Points
- Quasi-Judicial Procedure:
- The procedure of impeachment of the President of India is a quasi-judicial process.
- It involves both the legislative and judicial elements, ensuring that the process is thorough and fair.
- The process is initiated by either House of Parliament and requires a two-thirds majority to pass the impeachment resolution.
- The President is given an opportunity to defend themselves during the process, ensuring a fair trial-like procedure.
Additional Information
- Judicial Procedure:
- A judicial procedure is a process that is conducted entirely within the judiciary, such as court trials.
- The impeachment process, however, is not solely a judicial process as it involves legislative action as well.
- Legislative Procedure:
- A legislative procedure involves processes and actions taken solely by the legislature, such as passing bills and resolutions.
- While the impeachment process involves legislative bodies, it also includes judicial elements, making it quasi-judicial rather than purely legislative.
- Executive Procedure:
- An executive procedure is one that is carried out by the executive branch of government.
- The impeachment process does not involve the executive branch in initiating or conducting the process, hence it is not an executive procedure.
