Denying the allegation, Law Minister Anisul Huq said the chief justice went on leave for health reasons and it had no connection with the verdict. But the statement which Justice Sinha handed to the reporters in front of his official residence at Hare Road before starting for the airport contradicts the law minister's claim. He has also expressed concern over the law minister's comment that Justice Abdul Wahhab Miah, who is acting as chief justice in his absence now, is going to bring some administrative changes to the Supreme Court. Justice Sinha says such deeds will be construed as government 'interference' in the apex court’s workings, which will 'do no good' to Bangladesh. The statement on Supreme Court's pad has his signature in Bangla.
