Justice Sinha tarnished image of judiciary: AG
DHAKA, Sept 25, 2018 (BSS) – Attorney General (AG) Mahbubey Alam today
said former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha has tarnished the image of
judiciary through his autobiography.
“He has tarnished the image of country’s judiciary through his book that
he has written sitting abroad. If the reason behind, why the colleague judges
of then chief justice declined to sit on the same bench with him comes into
light, it will spread further stink. The image of the judiciary will further
tarnish,” Alam said.
The chief law officer of the state said these while talking to newsmen at
his office this afternoon.
“The main thing is that he (Justice Sinha) himself tarnished the image of
the judiciary. It is much unexpected to utter bitter words or bad things
about your colleague judges, by doing these, he has tarnished the image of
the judiciary,” he added.
While replying a question on why then colleague judges of Justice Sinha
declined to sit with him on the same bench, the attorney general said,
“Whatever we learned, we learned from the newspapers. We haven’t talked with
any judges. The other judges had declined to sit with him, which, I think,
was unprecedented in the world.”
