My observations about Sinha, ex-chief justice of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh
I found out that Surendra Kumar Sinha, the ex-chief justice of the supreme court of Bangladesh has written a book about his problem with the current government in BANGLADESH and his unceremonious exit from the coveted post that he once held in the apex court. I have not read the book and don't plan on reading it either. However, I had the opportunity of reading book reviews. My observation about Sinha is submitted in the South Asia Journal:
Sinha was unfit to become the chief justice of the supreme court. He was chosen by the Awami League government to appease the Indian lobby. In so doing, many more competent supreme court judges were sidelined to make the way for the less qualified Sinha.
Academically, he was a bad student: a 3rd class student all his life with a only single second class diploma of the 4 diplomas that he earned since his SSC exam.
Morally, he was a corrupt lawyer who made illicit money before and during his tenure. His reason to put Raghib Ali behind the prison owes big times to one of those – sour grapes – event in which he could not extract financial gains from the aged businessman Raghib Ali. It was no accident that after his removal crores of taka were found in his bank account.
However, once chosen as the chief judge of the apex court, Sinha tried to become too independent and even tried to bite the very hands that had fed him – the Awami League government, which found it necessary to remove him. The government wanted a team member to serve its agenda and Sinha later proved to be unmanageable. As such, he had to go. End of the story for a corrupt judge who climbed the ladder without knowing that it was resting on a faulty ground!
We can only pity such caricatures!
