The party leaders also hinted that the government is going to take stern action against the chief justice which could include removing him from his post permanently. As part of the action against Sinha, the present government has begun leveling corruption charges against the chief justice. As of Saturday afternoon, there has been talk of 11 charges of irregularities against Justice Sinha about which AL leaders claim to have proof. Meanwhile, five judges of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) have refused to sit with Chief Justice Sinha on the bench following the allegations, said SC Registrar General Syed Aminul Islam. There is no precedence of an acting chief justice or the government interfering in a sitting chief justice’s administration.
