State three ways in which the independence of the judiciary is secured in India.

Judges are appointed on the basis of qualification rather than by election, and they can be removed only by impeachment on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity.

Their conduct cannot be discussed in Parliament except on a motion for removal.
