Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik has written a letter to the president, asking for the impeachment of the Chief Justice for “gross misconduct”, “violating constitutional oath”.
In the letter sent to President Abdul Hamid on Sunday, the SC judge alleged that Chief Justice SK Sinha “out of his personal grudge” has removed him from the apex court bench.
The SC judge said the chief justice has not given him jurisdiction to sit in the bench from September 9.
According to Supreme Court sources, Justice Shamsuddin Chowdhury sent copies of the letter to the prime minister, Jatiya Sangsad speaker, chief justice, law minister and judges of the Supreme Court.
However, the president’s press secretary Zainul Abedin said they did not receive any such letter during office on Sunday.
The law minister Anisul Huq said he also did not get any letter and he cannot make any comment until receiving of the letter.
“I have only heard about it from journalists,” he said.
