Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha on Sunday urged the Supreme Court’s lawyers to criticise him constructively.
“If you (SC lawyers) criticise me constructively, I will welcome you. But nobody does do so,” he said while addressing an inaugural session of a book fair at Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) premises in the city yesterday.
SCBA organised the weeklong book fair at its premises. Many SC lawyers are taking part in the fair with bookstalls.
“Now we are showing less interest in reading books. But in the past, we had a very good habit in studying books,” Surendra Kumar Sinha said.
He admitted that many errors are found in the judgments but no lawyer came to him with allegation.
“Even, I myself find errors in my judgments. But no lawyer pointed out to me about the errors. Sometimes, many say democracy is being destroyed by a judgment. But why you are not writing on this?” he questioned.
SCBA President Advocate Yousuf Hossain Humayun, Senior Vice-President Advocate Fahima Nasreen Munni, Secretary Barrister A M Mahbub Uddin Khokan and ex Secretary of the bar Advocate Saidur Rahman also attended the inaugural session.
