Terming Justice A H M Shamsuddin Chowdhury an 'arrogant' man, senior jurist Barrister Rafique-ul Huq has said that 'Khoda' (God) has sent the High Court judge to trial.
"None can escape Khoda's justice, or else why our Justice Manik (Justice Chowdhury's nickname) is facing danger?" Huq told a programme in Dhaka on Saturday.
"Justice Manik drove steam roller over all of us. He was too arrogant. Khoda doesn't like an arrogant, swollen-headed man," he added.
Ruling MPs have been demanding removal of Justice Chowdhury since he censured parliament Speaker Abdul Hamid for his remarks criticising a verdict on the ownership of a piece of land. The speaker, however, is yet to react over the issue.
"The judiciary and the parliament are in a dispute over the issue," Rafique said and suggested settling the issue at the earliest. "Don't let it be an issue among the masses and in the media."
"So many appointments [of judges] in past few years have been politically influenced. It is difficult to get honest judgment from them. Such problems will end if qualified people are appointed," he said.
"Judges will have to grow beyond partisanship," he observed at the programme organised by the Reporters' Mukto Chinta Forum.
Barrister Rafique is the convenor of a citizen's rights organization, Nagarik Andolan. He has been in focus for his political comments on political issues.
