The President of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) of Bangladesh, Advocate Khandaker Mahbub Hossain, on Wednesday again warned that if the situation in the Supreme Court is heated for administering oath to two controversial High Court judges, the Chief Justice will have to bear the responsibility.

After meeting with Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque on the issue, Khandaker Mahbub told reporters at his office in the SC that the country's lawyers would not accept sworn in of the two judges.

The SCBA President reiterated the warning at a time when the Chief Justice is taking opinions of the bar leaders and some other SC senior lawyers to set his mind how to resolve the issue, sources said.
