Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik has written to the president, asking for the impeachment of Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha for “gross misconduct” and “violating constitutional oath.”
In the letter sent yesterday to President Abdul Hamid, the Supreme Court judge alleged that the chief justice “out of his personal grudge” had removed him from the apex court bench.
He said that the chief justice had removed him from the bench since September 9.
According to the Supreme Court sources, Justice Manik sent copies of the letter to the prime minister, the speaker, the chief justice, the law minister and the judges of the Supreme Court.
However, President’s Press Secretary Zainul Abedin said that they had not received any such letter during the office hours yesterday.
Law Minister Anisul Huq did not want to make any comment on the matter saying that he had come to know about it through journalists.
