Is the Supreme Court completely impartial in India? Is so, then this is credible.

At least in the US, the Supreme Court is anything but impartial. Judges typically vote along party lines.

Difficult to say. For one, they aren't appointed by the government in power, but have created their own "collegium" system where one batch of judges selects their own replacements.

They've also restricted the government's ability to change this system.

See the NJAC debacle for example.
