The Supreme Court has upheld the Appellate Division’s decision allowing the removal of the court’s justices through the use of a Supreme Judicial Council, according to bdnews24.com. The state had petitioned for the review of the 2017 decision declaring the 16th Amendment to the Constitution illegal. Now, if a judge proves unable to perform their duties or a complaint of professional misconduct is raised, action can be taken through a Supreme Judicial Council. The judgment then revived the Supreme Court Judicial Council for the removal of judges. Afterwards, Quddus told the media that the 16th Amendment repealed clauses 2-8 of Article 96 of the Constitution.
