Justice Manik seeks CJ’s impeachment

Bringing allegations of “gross misconduct” and “violating constitutional oath” against Chief Justice SK Sinha, a Supreme Court judge has written to the president for his impeachment.

Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik sent a letter to President Abdul Hamid today alleging that the chief justice “out of his personal grudge” has removed him (Manik) from the apex court bench that deals with cases.

The SC judge said the chief justice has not given him jurisdiction to sit in the bench from September 9.

Talking to The Daily Star around 6:30pm, president's Press Secretary Joynal Abedin said they were yet to receive any such letter.
