Law Minister Anisul Huq on Thursday visited Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha at his Hare Road official residence in the city as he is now on leave.
The minister entered the house around 4pm and stayed there for half an hour.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, Anisul said he went to Sinha’s residence to enquire about his condition. “He (Sinha) is taking rest and he sought blessings from all for his recovery.”
Earlier, the Chief Justice went on a one-month leave beginning on Monday on health grounds. The Chief Justice was widely criticised by the ministers and the ruling party leaders for his observations made in the verdict that had annulled the 16th amendment to the Constitution.
Sinha assumed office on January 17, 2015 as the country’s 21st Chief Justice. He will go on retirement on January 31 next.
