AG in cohorts with corrupt judge!

Nov 12, 2015

The attorney general is trying his best to save Supreme Court judge Sarath Abrew, who continues to be in service while claiming that he will retire, in order to escape the charges against him, say AG’s Department sources.

The CID, within two weeks, has completed investigations and submitted reports to the AG with regard to accusations against Abrew that he had sexually assaulted, confined, attacked with a fiream and caused injury to a female servant at his home. However, nearly five months have gone by since the incident, but the AG’s Department has not yet notified the CID about its decision and is intentionally keeping the relevant file, say the sources.

In the meantime, Abrew has been saying that he will retire, in order to cover up the investigation. He has done so on the advice of the AG. Top officials of the department say a judge or any other officer cannot avoid criminal charges by going on retirement.

The AG is not taking action as he thinks that that will cause a blemish on the judiciary, but what will happen is that a worse damage will be caused to the judiciary if the public loses their faith in it.
