Forty-two distinguished citizens have urged the president to constitute Supreme Judicial Council to investigate allegations of corruption and other misconduct against the Election Commission.
In a letter to President Md Abdul Hamid on December 14, they said the SJC should be formed under article 96 of the constitution.
The SJC comprises the chief justice and two other senior-most judges of the Appellate Division to probe the allegations against SC judges, the Election Commission and other constitutional bodies, and recommend removal of individuals involved in the allegations.
