The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) on Saturday announced a five-day nationwide demonstration progarmme to protest against the police ‘obstruction’ during its attempt to meet Chief Justice SK Sinha on Friday.
SCBA President Zainul Abedin came up with the announcement at a press briefing held in the SCBA auditorium in the morning.
“Lawyers of all District Bar Associations will form human chains and hold protest rallies from Sunday to Thursday protesting the obstruction,” said Advocate Zainul Abedin.
On Friday, members of SCBA executive committee had to return from in front of the Bar Council building due to the police obstruction on their way to the residence of Chief Justice (CJ) SK Sinha to meet him, he alleged.
“This proves that the CJ didn’t go on leave willingly rather he was forced to take the leave,” he added.
He said Article 94 of the Constitution states about the independence of the judiciary but now the Head of the Judiciary, the CJ, himself doesn’t have any freedom, which we consider as deception of the government with the judiciary.
