An official at the Supreme Court Registrar’s Office, requesting anonymity, said several other top court officials also went to the house later. Justice Sinha went on the leave on Tuesday, citing health reasons. The government in a circular said Justice Abdul Wahhab Miah, the most senior Appellate Division judge after Justice Sinha, will act as chief justice in this period. Law Minister Anisul Huq publicised Justice Sinha’s leave application on Wednesday, according to which the chief justice wanted to take rest following his treatment for cancer. Justice Sinha on Thursday visited Dhakeshwari National Temple to offer prayers on Lakhsmi Puja after Huq met him at his home.
