The Supreme Court has disclosed information regarding 12 High Court judges who were sent on leave due to allegations of partisanship, corruption, and links to fascist elements. According to court administration, one judge resigned on January 30, two were not appointed as permanent judges, and two have retired. Full investigations by the Supreme Judicial Council are ongoing against four judges, while preliminary inquiries are underway for the remaining three. Earlier, on October 15, Hasnat Abdullah and Sarjis Alam called for the resignation of these judges, leading to a protest at the High Court. However, the Chief Justice clarified that he lacked the authority to remove judges, as it falls under the President’s jurisdiction.
