(See Gurugobinda Basu vs Sankari Prasad Ghosal & Ors.) The Judges of the Supreme Court and of a High Court are not servants of Government but hold a constitutional office (vide Union of India vs Sankal Chand Himatlal Sheth & Anr.(2) and Hargovind Pant vs Dr. Raghukul Tilak & Ors.(3) But the Comptroller and Auditor General of India and the Judges of the Supreme Court and of a High Court are not eligible to contest elections to Parliament and the State Legislatures in view of Article 102(1)(a) and Article 191(1)(a) of the Constitution, as the case may 951 be, because they are serving in connection with the affairs of the Union (See Article 360(4)(b) of the Constitution) and are, therefore, holding offices of profit under the Central Government.
