A Supreme Court lawyer has filed a case for contempt of court against three former Chief Justices and four former Appellate Division judges.
Yunus Ali Akand filed the case with the concerned branch of the High Court on Wednesday.
The three former Chief Justices named in the case are Syed Mahmud Hossain, Hasan Foez Siddique, and Obaidul Hasan. The four former Appellate Division juges are Syed Iman Ali, Mirza Hossain Hayder, Abu Bakar Siddique, and Mohammad Nuruzzaman.
Yunus Ali alleged that on September 27, 2020, these judges, in an abuse of power, imposed a three-month ban on his practice in both the Appellate and High Court divisions of the Supreme Court on the grounds of contempt of court.
